As a school social worker, Dr. Mohl counseled students of New York City Schools. His philosophy is that every day is a gift. "As long as you are alive, enjoy the moment," he advises. Dr. Mohl has published four books of poetry, including his most recent book, entitled "Autumn Leaves at Twilight." His greatest career achievement was receiving a certificate for his numerous years of dedication to helping students at New York City Public School 206 and JHS 190.
