Life Well we left Oceanside when I was a sophmore to move to Bend Oregon with my Parents, Roz and Ed Bachman, Mom was a teacher at Victory. Anyways, Graduated from Bend High School and got married there, I have been married since 1984 and have three kids two in college and one a senior in High School. I married Dalleen Swanson a 1980 graduate from Bend High. I have been in Youth Ministry for that long as well, I am the State Director for Youth Alive and love what I do. We start Bible Clubs on Public School campuses and recruit teenagers to be campus missionaries, we do Multi-media School assemblies, and numerous other endeavors. I love what I do.
