I’m retired from 30 years of civil service with the Department of Navy and Department of Defense. I currently working as the Area Director for a Behavioral Health Company that is trying to restructure and realign itself. I am heading up the PHILA Health Systems of North Carolina Western Carolina Region. Launched in Asheville in 2025. So non-profit behavioral health is a primary connection for me and linking the church leaders to get more involved towards a pathway of sustained recovery. The connections for me would be in the area of philanthropic fund raising to HELP build this western area unit.
