Spike's Story
Life
During high school I put in the minimum effort required to pass a class, spent too much time in the Senior court yard, I was indifferent to the faculty. I mostly hung out with Dennis Tanner, Tim Taylor and Scott Ward. In December of 1975 I dropped out and joined the United States Marine Corp. After being discharged in 1979 I went to college at BCC and ECC I married Gail Alldridge and we had a daughter Amandalee. Unfortunately we divorced after 5 years; I gained custody. In 1987 I married the love of my life Nena Adkins, we had three sons. I continued in the Marine reserves until 1992. I went back to college in 1993 and went to night school forever. In 1996 I started my own business. I love being a dad (and husband) Amanda is married to a Brit and lives in Montenegro. Lucas passed away unexpectedly.

ngelist for four years in remote Zambia. Daniel also wrestled in college and has a degree in theology and his masters degree, he met his lovely wife in Chile as a Christian missionary. I love to stay active I have black belts in Aiki Jutsu and Shaolin Kung Fu. We have a cabin on 50-acres in Ellensburg where we love to spent our spare time. We built the cabin as a family on weekends and it has been an awesome place to get away with friends and family. We are involved with our church in Bothell; Canyon Hills Community Church, a nondenominational Christian church. My wife and sons have all gone on mission trips sharing the love of Christ and serving those with needs.
These are the highlights; Ive had plenty of lows too. I have managed to work through them, God gave me an awesome wife, that I don't deserve, who I still deeply love. It has not been a fairytale life by any-means, but a fulfilling one.
