About Myself as An Author
I am a disabled veteran and
patient. I was a volunteer for the Chaplains at the Veterans’ Administration’s
San Francisco Medical Center.
I served in the U. S. Army four
years from April 20th 1976 until April 21st 1981. When I enlisted, I already had an A.A. (in
Arts and Letters from Grossmont Community College) and a B.A. (Russian Area
Studies from San Diego State University. Because of my education I started as a
Private First Class and was promoted automatically to Specialist Four, I became
Class leader at my Advanced Individual Training. I was then posted to the 24th
Engineer group/18th Engineer Brigade in West Germany. There I earned
my promotion to Specialist Five, a sort of Technical Sergeant. Among my many
career moves my time in uniform in Europe was the most memorable. During my
time overseas, I earned an A.S. in Business Administration.
My vocation is as a minister of the
Word and Sacrament in the United Church of Christ. After earning a four year
Master of Divinity Degree at San Francisco Theological Seminary, I was ordained
in 2000 and was called to serve a suburban church in upstate New York. I have
acted as a Lutheran Pastor in rural New York and Tiburon California. I am
semi-retired. I presently work in
Social services.
I am in the
process of writing/publishing three books. The first which is nearly ready for
the printer is entitled, “Thanks: Giving and Receiving Gratitude for America’s
Troops; A Soldier’s Stories, A Veteran’s Confessions and A Pastor’s
Reflections” The second is a workbook entitled, “Spiritual Insight Training for
Veterans”. The third shall be called, “God and America’s Wars”
