| Introduction | I was raised on a farm near the small village of Waldron, Michigan. I had a marvelous childhood, growing up with fine parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. In 1993 I became the husband of Anna. We've been blessed with four adorable kids. We've lived in many places since then. In 2016 I completed a Doctor of Ministry degree from Asbury Theological Seminary. When my kids were young I liked to build things for them. Today they are young adults and we enjoy their wit and company. |
