I’m an Air Force brat and moved around a lot with my family until my dad retired in Florida, where I went to high school. I joined the Air Force and met my wife while stationed in California. We both felt the Lord leading us into full-time Christian ministry and went to Dallas Bible college. I also attended Dallas Theological Seminary. Kathy and I spent 30 years in Christian ministry, during which we traveled around the U.S. teaching and preaching the Bible. In Japan, we worked with the very affluent, and in the Philippines, we worked with the very poor. After more than 30 years of ministry, I felt I needed a change. Although I no longer preach from a pulpit, I continue to follow my passion for telling stories to help motivate people to a better life. My wife Kathy and I have four wonderful children and six beautiful grandchildren. In addition to writing and video production, I’m also an avid cyclist. During the summer of 2016, I rode my bicycle across the U.S. from Astoria, Oregon to New Jersey. This 3,245-mile coast-to-coast bike ride took fifty-five days to complete. I also participated in a fundraiser for New City Kids and raised over $4,000 for New City Kids. We rode from Jersey City, NJ to Grand Rapids, MI—880 miles in eleven days.
