Life Love that photo!!! I was in my office and needed a photo so... nuthin like a self-portrait! Wow... where do I begin??? Well... after graduating from the Christian Academy in St Louis, I went to York College. I only went one year. I wish I would have finished and I probably would have if I had gone to Harding. I enjoyed York but it was so far away from anything. When I left for college my parents moved. Yes, there are probably a few jokes especially since they didn't send me there forwarding address. Luckily I dated a girl in the mailroom... hehe... York had no problem finding where to send the bills and grades. I eventually found my way home to Fort Wayne, IN and... I stayed. I started working and met my wife. (another long story) I moved to Muncie, IN so we could go to Ball State University. That didn't work for long. College can be expensive with part-time work and a new marriage. After a short move back to Fort Wayne, We moved to Oklahoma City, OK. I hoped to attend Oklahoma Christian but I got a good job as a computer tech. Kelly and I both worked at Amerivision/Lifeline until March '99. For the first couple of years I also worked part-time as a youth minister at the Welston COC. That was fun but I had no time and never slept! Before we left OKC in April '99 we attended at Life Church. Awesome group! We moved back to Ft Wayne. My Dad planted a congregation (Southwinds Church) on the southwest side of ftw. This had been a life-long dream of our family to plant churches. Also, if we were every going to have any kids we figured we should move back near our babysitters... I mean family. I started working at GE as a... umm... y2k technician. Don't laugh! I got paid good money and traveled all over. My favorite place was Monterey, Mexico. Just like the computer business ...Expand for more
