Monte Y. Pescador
Known online as “Longhaul Preacher,” I am primarily a podcaster, voiceover artist producer, and virtual preacher while secondarily acting part-time as a counselor, the family Information Technologies technical support and webmaster, and the father of my baby girl, Freya, having come to us late in life.
Professional Goals
In the short-term, as I finish a doctorate, I am seeking part- or full-time work that will bring forward my professional careers in counseling and pastoral work, whether that be as chaplain, minister, or missionary, focusing specifically at the Denver area at least, Colorado at most for the sake of my wife and daughter. With no such jobs available, I will also be seeking experiential work in audio production and/or as an Apple Computers professional.
My long-term goals are to finish the doctoral program and find a professorship or other permanent teaching position locally, in the State of Colorado, a position I intend to retire on while starting a farm and church as per the founding of Dirt ‘N’ Nails Farms Inc.
