Hello, I’m Dr. Troyer (please call me “Jason”). My wife, Jenny, and I have 3 daughters (along with a Labradoodle, a Doodleman (Doberman/Poodle) & 3 Guinea Pigs). We live in the foothills of east Tennessee near the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

I’m originally from small-town Iowa, went to school at Truman State University in Missouri, and then met Jenny at the University of Kansas (Go Jayhawks!).

I earned my bachelor’s in psychology, master’s in counseling, and PhD in counseling psychology. I was a psychology professor at Maryville College for almost 15 years. But now I help funeral homes & cemeteries connect with their communities. I also work part-time at a funeral home/cemetery combo. I believe this provides me with both the insight of the bereaved and the challenges faced by funeral or cemetery owners.

Feel free to contact me about my services and products. I’m happy to chat with anyone who helps bereaved individuals (funeral/cemetery professionals, hospice professionals, mental health professionals, etc.). If I’m not the right person to help you, I probably know someone who is.
