As President/CEO of Fellowship Health Resources, Inc., I am often viewed as a contrarian.  I don't worry about being out of step with my peers, but trust my instincts and explore the possibilities.  Over the past 35 years my steps have found me standing atop a 4,000 ft. New Hampshire mountain, ex-offenders as my companions, allowing the experience of seeing nothing but other mountains all around.  My steps have also brought me to the Midwest to bring one of our program participants home.  Neither of those actions was in my job description; however, they made all the difference in the lives of those involved, my own included. 

Recently, my steps have allowed me to fulfill a personal dream.  It is my passion for songwriting that has fueled my desire to incorporate the visual and performing arts into all of our agency programs.  Studio 35, Recovery Television, Artists-in-Residence/Peer Mentor are just some of the creative avenues that Fellowship Health Resources is exploring to allow for recovery from mental illness.
