God is my creator and I am not an accident, I rebelled against God and was on my way to hell, Jesus Christ saved me and reconciled me with God, and now I am right with God and on my way to heaven. The Bible is my fixed point of reference which gives me common cause with the founding fathers of USA. The United States founding documents were based on the Christian scriptures and many of the founders read through the entire scriptures every year. After discovery this fact in 1983 I have made it my practice to read through the scriptures chronologically each year since. I use the Victory Bible Reading schedule which combines twice through the Psalms, Proverbs, and the Gospels with the chronological schedule. This one habit has been one of the most rewarding experiences that I have ever had in my life.
I have been married to the same woman for over 40 years and have 4 children and 11 grandchildren. My wife and children are very dear to me and we all love to get together as often as possible.
I grew up in Eastern Montana (Bloomfield, Glendive), Hesston Kansas, & Big Bend area of Florida, (Wewahitchka, Blountstown, Panama City, & Tallahassee.)
For nearly 40 years I have been in the Financial Services Business. My background is agriculture and agribusiness and therefore I have a significant client base of farmers and ranchers. After achieving rookie of the year, agent of the year, manager of the year awards I spent the next 20 years recruiting and training agents. Many of the agents I trained also became rookie of the year, agent of the year, and manager of the year award winners with my companies. I enjoy teaching people how to understand complex concepts and products. It is pure joy for me when I am able to communicate a principle or concept productively.
I really enjoy studying and teaching Christian theology, history, technology, problem solving, networking, helping people make important decisions and make real progress in their lives. I also like traveling, RV camping, cookouts, visiting historically significant locations. (i.e. Battlefields, museums of every type), reading biographies, virtual travel, challenging games, and thoughtful conversations with people who think deeply about issues. I have 8 siblings and we all enjoy getting together as often as possible, singing as a family, reminiscing, discussing current events and religious concepts, sharing our family matters, goals and dreams. I love to be with my grandchildren and help them understand the world around them especially their relationship with their creator.
