I was ordained in 1994 from Hebrew Union College / Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati, the home of the Reform movement and the first rabbinic seminary in the United States.  After serving for twelve years at Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco, the largest congregation in Northern California, I moved to Tucson, Arizona, where I was the rabbi of Congregation Chaverim for two years. 

I now serve as rabbi for the newly formed Reform congregation in Tucson, Congregation M'kor Hayim.  I also teach in the areas of adult education, Jewish spirituality, and meditation.  I am a trained Spiritual Director, a retreat leader, and have extensive experience officiating at Jewish weddings, funerals and other life-cycle events.
