Jim Koehr introduction. 
co-founder of the The Ark and The Dove, Inc., and was instrumental in the 2015 acquisition of this historic retreat center north of Pittsburgh that in 1967 gave rise to the worldwide Catholic Charismatic Renewal. That opportunity came when I served on the Board of Pentecost Today USA (formerly the National Service Committee of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in the US). Closer to home I served on the Board of Catholic Charities for 14 years, most recently as Chair, and 13 years on the Diocesan Review Board. Locally I now serve on the Virginia Catholic Conference Management Committee and on an advisory committee for the Campus Catholic Ministry at the University of Mary Washington. Other current Board roles include Chair of the Finance and Operations Committee of Franciscan University of Steubenville and Finance Chair of Heart of the Father Ministries.

We relocated from Fairfax Station to the Fawn Lake community in 2022 after purchasing a home here in 2020. We relocated to be closer to our daughter's family and the grandkids in Locust Grove after my wife Terry retired from her position at the Catholic Diocese of Arlington.
