About Me
After that Corps Week picture in 1984 I went to The Bronx, then Westchester and worked in Manhattan both years. From NYC, I went to Camp Gunnison in 1986 and had an amazing chapter of life being on staff and working with the Strzepeks, being on Pilot Council for Family Camps, etc. In 1990 I went back to HQ.
I was married in 1991 and moved to South Florida where both of the boys were born. Luke in 1993 and David in 1994.
We moved to Austin TX in 1996 (left TWI in 1998) and have been here since.
The boys are now taller than me. Luke is 16 and is quite the drummer. David is 15 and is an amazing artist, writes music and plays bass in a band that gets booked for real gigs... plays the big bass in the symphony orchestra too.
I've been happily single for a little over five years now and there has been an abundance of peace, a lot of challenges, and I have seen the goodness of God. I have seen His grace and His mercy and His love in ways I never could have imagined. It has been quite a journey and I could write a book.God is good always!!!
My Interests
I am interested in vacations. :) I like being home. I like going places. I love art, photography, music and exploring. I still like riding horses and someday I will ride regularly again. I love running right now... ran the NYC Marathon on November 1st and it was awesome. I am most interested in helping my kids make good choices because they are growing up so fast.
Employment or Career
I have mostly worked for software companies here in Austin for the past 12 years. In April of 2008 Dell bought the company I worked for, so now I work for a hardware company in the Software side and do Sales Operations. I have been blessed on the work front with jobs that have allowed me flexibility. Still really just love helping people, love managing projects and events, and the creative side of making things happen. God opens doors there for me to do more... so that is good. Recently helped with the re-release of Billy Falcon's Spark In The Dark... you can find it on eBay. It came out great...
Music I Like
Almost all of it. Kind of spoiled in Austin. -- also a big fan of Billy Falcon... Just helped with the re-release of his 1986 Spark in The Dark... Highly recommending.... The sound is amazing. Here is the link.

I know this is Paul's page, but I had to pop in and say hello. We are doing very well. Glad to see you looking so well and healthy, and such great kids.
Stop by my website when you get a chance.

Noticed you on this site and wanted to say hello and love you. Living in Spokane, married to my lovely wife Lisa for 20+ years now and enjoying the challenges of our two teenage children.
Drop me a line sometime.

I remember your simplicity in believing God and His healing. Your photos of you and your sons are beautiful. It's good to see you after so many years.
Sue Conness Mogan
It's great to see you and how you are doing.

No... Haven't run into Rico here. I wonder where he is in Texas? I would enjoy saying hi to him too. Have you heard from Louie? He never answered my comment to him here... I really just wanted to send my love to him and Jane. I also wonder how his brother Jeff is. It is so wild seeing pictures of people that we knew 20+ years ago, isn't it? I can't believe Angelo and Myrna are grandparents now. It is very comforting knowing that people you have cared about are doing well.
Love and blessings back to you and yours!

Love and bless
