Wally's Story
After graduating from West in 1975 I attended Biola College, graduating from there in 1979 with my BA in Communications. After Biola I worked for Creative Communications Associates, a Christian radio program production company in Garden Grove, CA. In 1981, I moved to Denver, Colorado, and worked at various jobs until I joined the missions organization, Trans World Radio (TWR), in 1985. I met my wife, Martha, during my first year with Trans World Radio and we were married in August 1986. From 1986 to 2003 with TWR I worked as a radio announcer, sportscaster, producer and station manager while living on the islands of Bonaire in the Caribbean and Guam in the Pacific, and then Melbourne, Australia, where I fulfilled a dream of sportscasting professional basketball, doing play-by-play announcing for the Victoria Titans in the Australian National Basketball League.

February 2004, I experienced the darkest days of my life when Martha died suddenly at age 41 from a blood condition called thrombophilia. In the aftermath of that, after receiving significant help in grief counseling, I decided to go back to school to begin a new career and earned my Master¿s Degree in Counseling. During that time I met Beth Hopkin and we were married Oct. 21, 2006. In August 2006, I founded LifeBridge Counseling (LBC)in Littleton, Colorado. Beth and I operate LBC, specializing in marriage counseling, divorce care recovery, grief counseling, and Christian sex therapy, both Beth and I receiving our certification in sex therapy in early 2007. I also utilize a trauma therapy called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) that has been very effective at helping trauma victims. We also conduct ¿Undercover Ministries¿ marriage intimacy workshops and classes. With Beth¿s sons, Michael (1985) and David (1988), we are a family of six, living in Arvada, Colorado.
