BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES
Deborah Webb, whose name got shortened to Deb after she got married, is a resident of Bullhead City, AZ. I moved here in 1989 after my graduate studies at both The University of Texas at Arlington, TX and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth, TX. I have two Masters an MA in Church Social Services and an MSSW. I worked in San Antonio TX for six months. I worked as a mental health therapist in the Northern Arizona Regional Behavioral Health Authority’s agency for over fifteen years. The day I resigned from the mental health clinic, the VR Counselor position came open. It took five months for the State of Arizona to complete the hiring process. I have been a VR Counselor for four years and three months. The more I learn on this side of the desk, the more interesting it becomes. I have been a client of VR due to having a visual disability from birth. I have low vision and really appreciate the sight I have. I am also grateful for the Assistive Technology which is available to those of us with this disability.
Christopher Campbell is a resident of Hawaii, where he lives with his wife and two daughters. I moved to Hawaii in 1986, after living in Los Angeles for many years. My undergraduate degree is in fine arts and the majority of my work history is involved in the arts. I have been employed by the state of Hawaii as a VR counselor for one year and seven months. VR is an interesting and new field for me and I am learning as I go.
