LinkedIn Manual
I created a LinkedIn Training Manual and delivered this class at Twentynine Palms Marine Base for MCTOG (Marine Core Tactics and Operations Group). Unfortunately, 70 people were being laid off in May 2019 from the MCTOG department. I did a two hour long training to help them find other positions in government or contract work.

Play: The Lost Treasure of Jerusalem
In 2017, I was asked to write a play for our Vacation Bible School (Breakaway). I was tasked with tying together the following threads: the theme of 'Walk this Way,' following in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul and somehow tying this all in with a 'National Treasure' type of multi-city Treasure hunt. (Of course, I also threw in a little Indiana Jones and a smattering of some real Biblical history for good measure...) There were also plenty of tie-ins to our Bible Study curriculum for 'Breakaway: Walk this Way' which included the epistles of Paul. This play has 11 segments, each running between 5-10 minutes each.
