2010 - Hi, I'm in Washougal, Washington, in the SW part of the state, in the Portland, Oregon area ... been up here since 1990 and it's a beautiful place. The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area begins at the east end of town ... wonderful waterfalls, hiking and biking trails and rural towns.

By the time I was leaving high school, I was pretty deeply involved in religious pursuits, and that has continued through today. I'm active at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Camas, and also with a variety of other religious activities such as conferences, prayer events, music opportunities (I play the guitar), pro life issues and a promoter of just about any honest activity of a spiritual nature. I haven't married as I didn't understand that to be my vocation and am happily single.

Past and current Catholic (and other) supernatural events (Fatima, Medjugorie) were pretty important as I grew into adulthood. These have led me to a conviction that peace in the world depends on our willingness and ability to respect each other. For this reason I became involved with the pro life movement ... especially as it is applied in a consistent way to the complex social problems the world experiences today. I'm active in two regional pro life groups, LifePac of SW Washington and Clark County Right to Life.

I finally graduated from Washington State University this year with a BA in Human Development with a Political Science minor, Magna Cum Laude! For employment I'm a commercial driver mostly with Camas Public Schools driving bus, but also at Portland Airport with the parking shuttles. It has been a privilege to be personally involved with the children and young adults at Camas Schools. This 76islanders.org website I also help with.
