I was ordained at America's seminary of Reform Judaism, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion.
For over 30 years I have been a member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis. I have served as rabbi of congregations
in Texas, Georgia, West Virginia, the District of Columbia, the West Indies, and the state of Washington. In 1984, following
training in Washington, DC, I was admitted to membership in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors. I have filled
chaplaincy positions for the Texas Department of Corrections, the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation,
and the Philmont High Adventure Camp in the Sangre de Cristo range of the Rockies in northern New Mexico. From 1991 to 1998,
I served as a Chaplain for the U.S. Navy in Tokyo, San Diego, and Honolulu. In 1998, I was awarded the Doctor of Divinity
degree by Hebrew Union College. I received my training as a healthcare chaplain in the Spiritual Care Department of the University
of California at San Francisco Medical Center, work as a hospital chaplain at the Veterans Administration hospital in Palo
Alto, and serve as a member of the Administrative Panel on Human Subjects in Medical Research at Stanford University. Kol
Hadash, the Northern California Community for Humanistic Judaism, claims me as their rabbi.
I'm a native of Little Rock, Arkansas and, although I've lived in many places, I still consider myself
a Southerner at heart. I have two grown children, Alisa and Jason. My wife, Kanit, and I live in the South Beach neighborhood
in San Francisco. My interests include fitness swimming, scuba diving, vegetarianism, bicycling, and the world of MacIntosh
computers.
