As a second generation Christian, my parents being baptized in 1957, I was baptized in 1971. Early in my career I was blessed with the opportunity to work for Worldwide Church of God and Ambassador College in Pasadena, California as a cabinet maker in the building and maintenance department for 20 years. While in Pasadena I married my wife, Judy, and together we raised our two daughters, Tiffany and Katie. We now live in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and attend the Milwaukee congregation of the United Church of God.
