Personal Statement

My personal interests range from helping with planning and executing campaigns of nonviolent resistance to militarism and injustice to learning about the wonderful ecology here in the North American Temperate Rainforest.

I am a Catholic Worker and was a Conscientious Objector to the war in Vietnam. I've been arrested for nonviolent resistance to militarism many times and have gone to jails and prisons for these convictions. I regard Peace Education as one essential in creating a culture and ecology of peace and justice.
