About Me

   I served as a chaplain in the army reserves for almost twenty-five years and deployed four times for war support. My book, Gateway to Iraq, A Chaplain’s Story, gives a passionate account of encounters with America’s finest, the American military.  

 I journeyed with my husband, an active-duty Air Force chaplain, for thirty years as we moved to ten different locations: Boston, Germany, Las Vegas, Turkey, Georgia, California, Azores, Georgia again, Phoenix, and Florida. We settled in Navarre, Florida, where we love the beauty of the area and the people.   

Now, I enjoy writing, working at church, going on mission trips, gardening, and volunteering for the many projects I support, including the Panhandle Butterfly House and Nature Center in Milton, Florida.     

 Did I mention I raise chickens?
