 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

I had pastored a small rural non-denominational Christian church in Oregon for six years. 

I am newly married to a beautiful Christian woman.

I have four daughters and nine grandchildren (eight surviving). 

Some of the things that I am doing in this latter part of my life
     * a writer and professional speaker
     * published five books, 2 Christian inspirational and 3 Navy books

After retiring from the Navy in January 1992, I worked as an information technology consultant for 12 years. It was at that time that I decided to turn my life in another direction. The Lord brought me to where I am today.  God called me to pastor a church.
