I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and attended Catholic schools. All during my education I had many questions about my faith that went unanswered. Upon discovering that I was not eligible to fulfill my desire to become a priest, I began exploring other traditions and faiths. I arrived in California in 1992 and obtained my Bachelors degree from CaliforniaStateUniversity, Hayward in Speech and Interpersonal Communication with a specific emphasis on couples communication. My spiritual exploration brought me into Sacred Circle Dance, the studying of Native traditions, Buddhism, Judaism, and to the Chaplaincy Institute of Arts and Interfaith Ministries where I was ordained an Interfaith Minister in 2003.
I currently consider myself an Interfaith person, embracing, learning and engaging in a variety of spiritual practices that support me as I journey as a spiritual being on this human path.
