- Family: awesome!
- Happily married to my best friend since 1985
- Proud father of two awesome adult children
- Career: ever-changing
- 23 years’ service in the US Army, retired in 2006
- Second career managing materials and logistics for a major oil company
- Currently serving the Hilltop neighborhood of Tacoma, WA in whatever capacity I can to help it grow and flourish
- Faith: radically committed to following Jesus as my Lord and Savior
- I’ve been around the Christian church most of my life, but spent the first 40 or so years avoiding God, because I didn’t understand him. He finally got my attention, and I dedicated my life to serving him in 2004.
- Politics: it’s complicated
- I’m preeminently qualified to be a stereotypical ultra-conservative, but that’s not me. I tend to be pretty moderate, but complex. My political and socio-economic views are complicated by the fact that I believe the big problems aren’t easily solved–it’s the details that make them problems.
- Education: always learning
