Mary Tamayo
Hello, my name is Mary. For most of my career I have worked in Real Estate. That all changed a few years ago when God opened a door for me to help at Culture of Life Ministries. I first helped as a volunteer translator, but my role has expanded to duties such as patient care technician, special projects coordinator, and even missionary outreach in San Benito. My other passions include helping feed the hungry in Brownsville, coordinate transportation for patients in need, and helping out at my local church.
Eric Johnson
Hello, I am Eric Johnson, and God took a long time to prepare me for mission service at Culture of Life. I grew up in MN and joined the Army with plans to retire from it. I broke my back 5 yrs in and everything I had planned fell apart. In 2001 I met my bride and a few years later we moved every 3-5 yrs for her jobs as a Nurse Practitioner. I graduated with a BS in elementary education, worked as a contractor for Mayo Clinic for 12 yrs, did the mr mom thing, worked at a Catholic School, a mental health/ substance abuse facility, got my black belt in ABKA karate, worked at a maximum security prison in the world. I held many positions at the churches we attended and started grad school for a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership with an emphasis on Church Leadership. We moved to the Valley for my wife’s health in Oct 2021 and a few months after getting here God drew me to Culture of Life and I have been here ever since.
