Summary
Broad range of experience while working with children and adolescents, to adults with a background founded upon twenty-one years of being an ecclesiastical leader and counselor. I have encouraged growth and witnessed change for the better, and greater unity within families in our faith. Have acted as an advocate for the youth and individuals struggling through personal trials in their lives. I have strong skills in building rapport, motivating families and individuals, and bringing empathy into the environment, creating a Christian-centered space where individuals can heal.

View into my Life
I love the outdoors. From hiking, hammock camping, and hunting, to gardening, and landscaping. I have three children, two boys and little girl. My family is my greatest purpose in my life. I love provident living. Until recently, I ran a hobby farm where we raised livestock and gardened. Give me projects on my personal time and that with quality time with those I love fills my bucket. Life is too short to stay idle.
