Ken's Bio

I was called to blend psychology with theology in my work, and I received my Doctoral degree in Pastoral Counseling at Notre Dame. Subsequently, I was a college professor in three different universities, teaching psychology and comparative religion. I then became a Certified Marriage and Family Therapist, a role in which I was proud to distinguish myself clinically.

During the 24 years of my professional career as a minister, I have acted as chaplain in five hospitals.  For 15 years, I was the Director of the Hope Care & Counseling Center in Denver. Colorado.  In this position, I developed and supervised over ten satellite pastoral counseling centers throughout the Denver metro area.  I served for five years on the Board of Directors of
The ManKind Project and I was proud to be the Center Director of the Colorado ManKind Project from 2005 to 2007, conducting men's leadership trainings and seminars in an organization that seeks to "change the world one man at a time" by helping them connect head and heart.

And then came the call from Arizona and it was time to move to Tucson in late 2007 to care for my aging folks. So, my sweet wife,
Claire O'Connor, and I began afresh here in the gorgeous Sonoran desert after we completed advanced training as Certified Relationship Coaches with the Hendricks Institute for Conscious Living. I serve the Tucson community working as a Hospice Chaplain for Serenity Hospice and Palliative Care. I perform weddings and other ceremonies as a Professional Officiant and Celebrant.
