Throughout my career, I have always enjoyed helping other people. I am patient and a good listener. I like to find what other people are interested in and join them in enjoying these activities. I have worked with families providing respite care for caregivers and am interested in continuing do so as I contemplate retirement. My interests and work background are broad and varied (e.g., ministry, teaching, respite care, sports coach and umpire/referee, home remodeling/ repair, reading, crossword puzzles, hiking, camping, all sports, movies). I am experienced in in-home care as well as taking my "friends" on outings of their choice. I am blessed with a loving wife, a son, and two (soon to be three) grandchildren.
