After completing 2 years at College of the Redwoods, I worked in the Forest Industry in different spectrums from Timber Cruising with the U.S. Forest Service to reforestation and road design with Simpson Timber Company. I then switched my professional emphasis to a Theological and Music major, attending Bethany Bible College, then a DTS with Youth with a Mission, Two years at Rhema Bible Training Center with a emphasis working with Teens and Youth.

Attended Fuller Theological Seminary through the extension school in Seattle, Washington for one year. Now having semi-retired, I discovered the world of the perfect storm, with Baby Boomers having hearing loss and advanced technology in Hearing Aided devices and now am in pursuit of becoming a licensed Hearing Instrument Specialist (H.I.S.) to help people with mild to severe hearing loss so that they can have a better quality of life and to be able to help them hear better.
