Besides writing this blog, I'm a guest speaker at churches and Friends meetings, conferences, and other events. 

I'm also a freelance translator (Russian to English), writer, and editor.

After ten years in Elektrostal, Russia (2007-2017), Judy and I are now based in Portland, Oregon, USA. We are recorded ministers in Sierra-Cascades Yearly Meeting of Friends.

You can see some of our teaching activities in Russia at my other blog, 32 Radio Street.



My first employment was as a dishwasher in a restaurant in Evanston, Illinois. Next, I worked at the Western Electric factory in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.

During my years at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, I worked part-time at the university library. For a year after graduating, I worked for the Anglican Book Society at their Canterbury House bookstore in Ottawa, and was business manager of The Canadian Friend.

Back in the USA, I worked at Beacon Hill Friends House in Boston for three years. Other Quaker-related jobs have included ten years with Friends World Committee for Consultation, seven with Friends United Meeting, and three with Reedwood Friends Church. I was a "Friend Serving Abroad" for ten years with Northwest Yearly Meeting of Friends before retiring.

Some of the things I've written are available through this link.
