I grew up in a deeply Christian family, and very early learnt to love God and read the Bible. While a university student, I heard about Christian Science, and was immediately drawn to the fact that Christ is a real, though not physical, presence, which I may prove practically, by healing like Jesus.

There’s a Psalm that has helped me discover and follow my life’s path: “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way” (Psalm 37) While in college I took courses in architecture, but discovered that my heart was in radio broadcasting, so I took that step and spent time working at the college radio station. Then I was drafted into the Army, which led to serving in American Forces Radio, followed by years of work in commercial radio, then as a national radio consultant.  In that capacity I was hired to help  The Christian Science Monitor  launch 'Monitor Radio'.

I came into Christian Science as an adult and found it to be just what I’d been searching for -- Mrs. Eddy’s writings described so perfectly something I’d always known deep inside.

Because my mother was such a faithful church-goer, I received my first Bible at the age of three for perfect attendance in a protestant church Sunday School. That record continued until high school when I went to work for a hospital on weekends.

Following a foundational healing of malaria while serving in the US Peace Corps, Philippines, I returned to the US to earn my law degree from Washington University School of Law. The majority of my law and business career was with AT&T. Some AT&T positions involved international responsibilities, including President of the Asia/Pacific region, based in Hong Kong. All of these experiences confirmed for me the universality of divine Love. After my corporate career, I entered into the full-time practice of Christian Science.

Saying “yes” to God makes life a grand adventure.  Learning about my relationship with God benefitted every area of my life, from health to relationships to employment and supply. During college, I wasn’t sure what career path to follow.

When I was growing up, I attended First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Freeport, New York. I became a member of that church and The Mother Church at age 12.

In my twenties, religion seemed outdated, irrelevant, boring. It was the ‘60s – the era of recreational drugs, the war in Vietnam, and the ‘sexual revolution.’ After attending graduate school in New York, I pursued a career on Madison Avenue in advertising and marketing.

As a child growing up in Nevada and California, our family was very enterprising. Though we didn’t have a great deal materially, I watched as my mother’s brand new study of Christian Science began to bring much good into our lives.

My family was introduced to Christian Science after my great uncle was healed of a debilitating disease. From a young age, I felt a strong desire to travel and help others.
