The most important thing that happened to me in my life is that I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart in 8th grade at Forest Home summer camp in the San Bernardino Mountains. I am not a perfect Christian, or even close to being one if that is possible, but the Lord has changed my life and given me a sense of purpose and placed all aspects of my life in perspective. I am blessed with a loving wife who is very talented and works very hard to provide the best kind of home possible. God has blessed us with two children who have personalities and gifts and who make me very proud.
