Bio

My family has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for 5 generations, and I was born in Walnut Creek.  I have worked in education since 1990, and in the high-tech industry since 1998. My call to explore more fully my spirituality began in earnest in 2001.  I have been a licensed Spiritual Practitioner with the Centers of Spiritual Living since 2005. This year I achieved RScP Emeritus status.

I entered the Chaplaincy Institute in 2013 and was ordained as an Interfaith Minister & Chaplain in 2016.  I serve as a volunteer chaplain of the Walnut Creek Police Department, offering spiritual support to police officers and ministering community members when on call. I have also volunteered as a bereavement support chaplain in hospice.
