Degree(s): Education, English

Professional background, interests and expertise: My first job out of college was as the Executive Director of the PLC. I served for three years before becoming Director of Marketing for the Children's Museum of Denver. My next move was into the For Profit sector where I spent most of my 40 year career working with large databases that were used to do predictive modeling for Direct-To-Consumer businesses. I retired in 2021 but am currently working part-time on a successful start-up venture with several former colleagues. Outside of work, my current volunteer interests are serving with Hospice and The Restorative Justice Education Program, where I work with Offenders at the Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility in Canon City. I'm also a graduate of the Catholic Biblical School and The Living School at the Center For Action and Contemplation. I've been married for over 40 years to another PLC alum and have two adult children.

Hours available for mentoring per month: 4

Best professional advice: As a rule, I would hesitate to offer advice without the benefit of listening carefully to the person seeking advice. Understanding the context here, though, I would suggest that seeking a balance of work, family, faith, and community serves one well.
