Author: Rick
My life-long passion is in the arts: music, theater, visual arts, and literature. I graduated from Cal Arts in 1985. I began my career in non-profit administration working in Human Resources for AIDS Project Los Angeles during the height of the AIDS crisis. In 1995 I returned to school for a Masters in Divinity, and became a Unitarian Universalist minister. The ministry combined my passion for the arts with my skill as a non-profit administrator.
