About Me
WOW 1980-81 and 85-86. Way College 1982-83. Staff at Way HQ in IT dept. 1983-85. Way Corp 1985-88. Since then I have continued to study and teach the Word of God. It is my passion.
I have lived in eleven different states during my lifetime (WI, MI, IN, MO, CO, KS, OH, NE, IA, PA and VA, in that order.) I love to travel and have been to the Philippines four times and Scotland twice.
I met my wife (Hazel) while teaching God's Word at a youth camp in the Philippines. We were married in Dec. 1992 and have three kids: Matthew (1995), Shea (1997) and Shauna (2003). Hazel works in fiscal management.
My Interests
I am family-oriented and spend lots of time with my kids and their activities. As part of that, I have been coaching soccer and basketball since 2001, at the recreational level (I don't get paid).
I am district SAA of Toastmasters, an organization that helps you to improve your public speaking skills. I edited a biography book that got published.
Most of all, I love to write articles for publication, teach God's Word and minister to the needs of people one-on-one. I am outreach oriented, looking to reconcile lost souls to our Lord Jesus Christ and also have a vision to help Christians to find and claim the ministry work that God has called them to.
Employment or Career
I have been programming computers since graduation from The Way Corps in 1998 and still enjoy it. Currently a software engineer programming in RPG ILE on an iSeries (AS400). Aspiring to work in management, recently I managed some large projects and a department.
For the future I am contemplating going into ministry work.
Music I Like
I still enjoy the old 'believer' music like Rick Panyard's "The Rock Band." I just wish I had the old goodies (like Glad Tidings) on CD. I also like some of the new Christian music that is out there.
Regarding secular music: I'm having trouble enjoying the new stuff that my kids like, especially the rap music. I prefer the soft rock music of the 1970s, 80s and early 90s. Celine Dion, Fleetwood Mac, James Taylor, Gloria Estefan, Whitney Houston, etc.
Books I Like
My favorite topics are biographies, motivational, leadership, and informational material of all kinds (computers, investing, home improvement, etc.).
Television I like
I watch very little regular TV. Most of it is of such low quality that I don't bother. The comedies aren't funny, the violence turns me off and I have very little patience with commercials. Sports is about all I watch.
Movies I like
Hallmark classics. I like stories that involve a lot of interaction between the characters, showing relationship problems and how they overcome barriers to receive emotional healing and deliverance.
The 'blow up the place' and 'shoot the villian' movies don't do much for me. I'll take good acting and a great storyline over special effects any day.
Sports Teams I like
Minnesota Vikings, Indiana Pacers, and Cincinnati Reds, in that order.
Locally: Liberty University and VA Tech.

Comments
Yes, it has been a long time.
My profession is a software engineer. On the side I still love to study the Bible and I look for opportunities to teach when I can. I've been married for 16 years now and have 3 children (13, 11 and 5 yrs old). They are a big part of my life.
I hope that you have been well. It has been quite a few years since the 16th Corps left residence. I think that was the last time I saw you. What have you been up to?
