Personal statement
I am currently the rabbi of Congregation Eitz Chayim, an unaffiliated Reform congregation with a Renewal flair, in Port Saint Lucie, Fla. I also teach World Religions, Religion in the US, and Ethics at Indian River State College in Fort Pierce, Fla. I have taught conversion and b’nai mitzvah online for many years, including with students in Italy, Germany, and Peru. I strive to consider every student and every situation for best scenarios and believe fixed policies interfere with considering the people involved; every situation has its potential, and I love finding effective solutions to challenges.

Before moving to Florida, I was the rabbi of Congregation Kol Simchah in Tucson, Ariz. Prior to studying for the rabbinate, I was a mechanical engineer at Goodyear in Ohio, and before that, I was a certified flight instructor. My hobbies include hiking, jewelry, photography (especially flowers and animals), watercolor, and traveling. I am comfortable working with students via distance and strive to answer emails and texts as quickly as I can.
