Our Staff

Bill Meyers has been director of Shalom House since 1998.

Bill is from upstate NY (Wellsville), a graduate of Houghton College (NY) and has two graduate degrees, one from the State University of New York and the second from St. Bonaventure University, Olean, NY. He served five years active duty with the U.S. Air Force and worked six years with the U.S. Navy in the Bahamas. He was a history/social studies teacher for twenty-six years before coming to Shalom House. He has been commissioned by the United Methodist Church, his home Presbyterian Church of America (PCA) and also serves on Associate Staff with The Navigators.

Mr. Meyers has two sons; one serving with the U.S. Air Force near St. Louis, MO and the other a science teacher in Minneapolis, MN.

Ju Houck Im (Forest) is the Assistant Director of Shalom House and has worked here since late 2002. He is a graduate of Seoul University and formerly worked at Samsang Life Insurance before coming to Dongducheon. He is married and has two children.

Mr. Im, age 80, came down from North Korea during the Korean War of 1950-53. Today he is an elder in a local Presbyterian Church and has worked here at Shalom House for over thirty years.

“Shammer” is the newest addition to the Shalom House staff. Although only 4½ years old, he earns his pay (albeit chow) by being the excellent watch dog and building mascot that he is. He was a gift from the Army, thus his namesake.
