JOINED UUCMP: April 2008

WHY UUCMP: I really wanted to return to the Monterey area. I was already a sexton for an Episcopal church and had worked for the UU Fellowship in Reno. I felt this would be a great place for me to live and work. The people I met here and/or spoke with by phone during the negotiations and interview, beginning with Rev. Greg Ward were all friendly and efficient. I liked that.

JOB: Former sexton for Trinity Episcopal Church in Reno, Nevada. I have also taught computer office skills, coordinated a network of volunteers, managed two local stores for fast food chains in Tennessee (Domino's Pizza, Church's Chicken) and done a number of other interesting things.

RESIDENCE: Here at UUCMP in your wonderful sexton's quarters.

PERSONAL: My live-in companion, Moses the cat, likes it here as much as I do. I am glad and thankful to be back in the Monterey area and look forward to becoming more involved here over time.
