I’m in the SE Synod; retired. Over the years I have served congregations in five synods (Allegheny, Lower Susquehanna, NEPA, NW Ohio & SES).  Beyond the parish I have served as a Hospital & Hospice Chaplain; Senior Residential Care Facilities chaplain; Director of MHMR & Behavioral Therapist. As an ecclesiastical enforced Counselor I have as well served in Mediation, Family & Crisis Intervention Counseling. Since 2010, along with my partner, we have responded in times of disaster with SES-LDR, CAP, ECCST, FRCT & Volunteer FL.
