My wife, Jenifer, has her own Christian Preschool called, Lady Bug Learning Club Christian Preschool. Life is Good !!
School
Going to McClintock High School in the 80's, when the mighty MAC ruled the Football GridIRON, was truly an incredible experience to say the least. This is where many things were built into my character to enable me to have confidence and success on the next level. I wouldn't be who I am today without it. Our class was TRULY one of the best, if not THE best class that ever came through MHS. This is pretty much known by people who came before us and after us. What an experience !!
College
College, for me, was Football on the next level. Most of my time, thoughts and energy went towards being a starter on the Offensive Line of NAU. College was where I really started getting serious about connecting with God. The relationships I built at NAU, will last the rest of my life. The guys I played football with and got into the Fellowship ...Expand for more

Workplace
Straight out of college I became a Choir Director at the Arizona Boys Ranch. I did this for 7 years. WOW was that an incredible time !!
I've got a lot of deep relationships with a lot of the kids that came through there as well as the staff I worked with. I learned a lot being there. It was a tough environment and sometimes was a little hostile. When I was working there, I began to preach to the kids through the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. This is when I knew that I was called to minister the Gospel of Christ.
Then we had a kid die out there. ( I didn't kill him ), but everyone got laid off and I had to switch careers. I went into computers and got a job as the High School Tech at Apache Jct. High School. There I taught three classes and fixed all the broken computers. Then I started studying for my Microsoft Exams and once I passed them, I stared shopping my resume all over the place. I landed at ASU in a SWEEEET gig !!
I work at ASU as a Technical Support Analyst in the IRIS / SNM Dept. Everyday is a new suprise with Technology changing so fast and new products coming out all of the time. I love this job and it's got a whole LOTS a PERKS !!!
