What pays the mortgage, bills and kilts is my employment as a manager of gated active adult community. I work part time at a local Wal-Mart in the sporting goods department. As an associate there I provide a behind-the-scenes ministry to my fellow workers. I am a commissioned captain in the Church Army USA.

My prior profession has been as an administrator in hospitals, nursing homes and medical clinics. The last ten years of the prior century I specialized in turning around distressed retirement communities and opening new ones (mainly assisted living facilities).

My most interesting employment was fours years (1981- 85) in Kuwait as a medical administrator of Getty/Texaco Oil Companies. That experience afforded the opportunity to travel extensively through the Middle East. I also was able to travel to northern India, Kashmir and Nepal. With additional trips to France, Germany and the UK it was quite an experience I cherish.
