He is the Director of Church Partnerships for Called To Peace Ministries, and has trained hundreds of advocates, pastors, and leaders in communities all across the country. He became widely known through his involvement in the Stacy Peterson and Drew Peterson case. The disappearance of Stacey Peterson served as a catalyst for Neil Schori’s pivot into domestic abuse violence awareness.
