Jim Brommers Bergquist
Summer camp counseling and Pre-Med/Education majors in college confirmed for Jim that working with people - and specifically adolescents - was in his future. Now, 30 years later, he has a wealth of leadership and educational experience, having spent the majority of his work life running youth and young adult programs in and around Seattle, Chicago, San Francisco, and Boston.
Jim facilitated retreats and various student events at Seattle University, has led over 30 service and immersion trips, co-directed the Capitol Hill Homeless Youth Center (Seattle), coached several sports at the high school and collegiate level, created and led an after-school wellness center at a local high school, taught at an Alternative Public Middle School, is a certified Love and Logic teacher, completed a 20-week class on Wellness and Positive Psychology Coaching, spent 10 weeks as a full-time ICU Chaplain Resident at Evanston (IL) Hospital, and is committed to making the world a bit better and easier for adolescents.
Jim is quick to admit that he also has many flaws, has made many mistakes, and needs to work harder at keeping good mental health. He lives in Santa Barbara with his wife Ingrid and their two daughters (well, one is actually away at college).
