Walter’s Bio

I am a 53 year old married man who has spent the bulk of his career as a Field Service Engineer. At 50, I went to seminary to become a pastor. I am in search of work that has flexibility and also uses my skills as a care giver. I have experience working with all types of people. I am competent and comfortable in many different situations. I am patient, kind and likable. I can work with children, special needs and seniors.
I have graduated from seminary and completed my Clinical Pastoral Education at a UPMC Senior Care facility. I have done youth ministry at church, worked with troubled youths in NYC and in New Mexico, worked with special needs clients at Adelante Training Center, acted as the chaplain at a UPMC Senior Care, and I currently work two days a week as a Care Companion in a clients home.
