Bio:  My career began as an Outward Bound instructor guiding in the canyons and mountains of the American west.  Following religious studies during college and a masters degree in Biblical studies, I served as a chaplain with the Marines for some years.   After returning home to Colorado with Natalie & our two girls, I was able to help with the national start up of Americorps/NCCC.  Next was an opportunity to work as the Ranch Directors at Adventure Unlimited, and then a lifelong dream come true of opening The Link School (an experiential based high school for Christian Science teens).   I then completed a masters in addiction counseling and worked volunteering in the criminal justice system and with community mental health. 

    Throughout these chapters the the call has been to ministry, education, & guiding.  And the overarching theme has been to serve God through work that makes a difference for good and gives back to church and community.  When the inspiration to serve full time in the healing practice of Christian Science came, it was a blessed call to have the opportunity to answer and truly felt like coming home.
