Additional Information

Given my professional history and current position (which I will continue in), my reason for applying for this position deserves a brief explanation. I opted out of social security early in my preaching career (this is an option for ministers). As I near retirement age, I am currently 6 quarters/credits shy of qualifying for Medicare. My plan is to work enough on my own time and schedule over the next two years to fulfill the Medicare requirements before retirement.
