I have worked in the area of Christian despondency and suicide since 2001 through the Crystal Cathedral’s New Hope program initially, then as the Administrator for the Share and Care forum, an adjunct service to New Hope, in addition to private counseling. I grew up in California, became a believer at an Assembly of God church in 40 years ago, and am Charismatic. I have a Bachelor of Arts from the University of the Pacific and a Masters from the Claremont Graduate School. I am in training as a classical pianist and work as a science writer about the subject of Quantum Mechanics.
