Robert's Story
Wow! Where to start...
I probably would have been voted least likely to succeed if the PHS Class of 64 had taken such a vote. As you may recall, I wasn't very athletic. So, what did I do? I got into Professional Wrestling right after PHS Graduation. I wrestled for ten years, and also promoted Professional Wrestling in the South for several years during that period. The most famous name I wrestled as was The Masked Marvel.
After Wrestling, I went to Hawaii where I managed a Hotel Restaurant complex for the underworld. I left that, and ended up in Portland, OR where I did the most important thing anyone can do in life: I committed my life to Jesus Christ. For several years after that, I was a traveling Evangelist. I married my wife Diana, and we eventually had two wonderful daughters. I also was given the opportunity to go to College by Diana. I did, and got a Bachelors Degree, and three Master's Degrees.
I then embarked upon a ten year College...Expand for more
Teaching career; the last six of which I was Chair of The Business Division of what is now Concordia University in Portland. After that, I was Operations Manager for North American Indian Missions out of Hemet, CA.
As a part of their Ministry, we put in a Television Station in Hemet. Several years later, my family and I moved to Appleton, Washington, and put in KRHP TV-14 in The Dalles, OR. We actually own and operate KRHP which has now gone digital, and has four different over the air television channels in The Dalles. KRHP is also carried on a couple of Cable TV Systems. KRHP TV-14 celebrates its twentieth anniversary in August of 2014! (an org link might be the call letters of krhp with it)
KRHP TV is a Christian TV Station; but a little different then most other Christian TV Stations. We do not ask for any operational funding over the air. We just share with people what is in The Bible.
So, that is my story. Any questions? Ask away!
