Russ's Story
Life
After graduating school in 1990, yep, early through Arrow Haven Adult Program I went unfortunately down ward. I got involved in gangs and pretty much the looser crowd. (How many people saw that coming? More to come
) I joined the US Navy and received a general discharge because I got into some legal problems at home.
I was a
guest at the Sacramento County Jail for a short time and decided on the very first day I would never go back. I knew I had been hanging around losers, but never thought of myself as one.
Something awesome happened when I was in jail. I became a broken man and which I gave my life to Jesus. I had sucked at trying to control my own life so I thought I would let God have a turn. When I got out of jail I went to Trinity Life Bible College in Sacramento where I majored in Theology. Not only did I walk away with an education, but the woman of my dreams.
In high school, I swore I would never marry because of what I had been though and what I had seen. I have now been married for almost 11 years (7/30/94) and although the first years were not easy it has been absolutely fantastic. I must have done something right because my wife Lisa is more than I could have ever asked for. She is beautifu...Expand for more
l, intelligent if not brilliant, kind; loving, generous and list could go on forever.
I have owned over eight businesses, which all but one was successful. I have made over a million dollars and have filed bankruptcy on over half a million dollars. I have owned my own home and by all means of the word been successful. However, the best thing that has ever happened to me is the birth of my three children. Ryan, Shawn, and Mackenzi are by far Gods greatest gift to Lisa and me.
And now we enter a new chapter of our lives as Lisa attends school to be a nurse and me for a nurse, physicians assistant, or even an MD! We will see what God wants us to do!
School
In short, I was egotisitcal, prideful, self-centered, and the list could go on. (Please don't add anything...LOL) I was and am smarter than I think, I just hated homework and don't care for authority. LOL. Now, I love school and respect authority.
Oh no, I just thought of those poor teachers. LOL
Military
My military career was not as long as I wish it could have been. However, I am exactly where God wants me to be. As for what I did in the Navy, I served as a Corpsman in NSWD. Otherwise known as classifed. Sorry...I wish it could be more exciting.
