My work before professional Unitarian Universalist ministry began in business management with a family owned business. In the years to follow, work opportunities lead to nonprofit management, finance and grant assessment. I played an active role in fostering opportunities for others to develop as leaders. Concurrently, I was active as a leader within Unitarian Universalist leadership circles from local, district/regional to continental levels.
