What is your Job Title / Role at RHS? 

Owner/Director of Community Based Services

How did you come into the Mental Health Field?

I was attending college and had a conversation with DeVere about degrees and he said, “Get a degree in psychology or sociology then come work for me.” Therefore, I received a degree in Sociology and the rest is history.

Who inspired you to pursue this career choice?

See the above conversation.

How important is it for you to work with our Southeast Idaho Community?

Being involved in the community has always been very important to me.  Early on, I had the opportunity to work with the Grid Kid football program. Since then I have had opportunities to stay involved with youth in various sports.  Being able to teach/coach kids and sharing my enjoyment of sports has been very rewarding. 

What is something someone might not know about you?

I speak French.

What are some of your interests / hobbies?

Taking long rides on my motorcycle.  For me it’s not the destination but the route to get there. 

What is the best advice you would give to someone just coming into this field?

Try to realize that every person you interact with are doing the best they can that day.  Don’t take it personal.
