You Only Live Once, LOL, Just Kidding, Be Right Back - JC
Just a little about me: I was born in Chicago, Illinois, and have family there and in Florida. I came to Colorado in 1976, lured by the beauty of the Rocky Mountains.
I initially was trained as a chemist, and at one point made a sideways transition into the world of computers. I left that field as a Lead Software Test Engineer, meaning I can break any computer program known to humankind. Following a persistent sense of call, I left the technical world for seminary. There I fell in love with Scripture and learned about how many different ways there are to understand and connect to God.
After seminary, I spent ten years in health care as a hospice chaplain, where I learned to trust how determined God is to reach each of us, God’s beloved children. During much of that time, I was working through the ordination process in the Episcopal Church.
I was ordained an Episcopal priest by Bishop Robert O’Neill in 2017. I spent a year as an intern at St. Timothy's Parish in Centennial and a bit over four years as associate priest for pastoral care at Christ Church Denver. It is a great and undeserved blessing to have the chance to serve as your vicar.
