About Me
I was born in Rock Rapids, IA, which is also now the physical location of Alpha Omega Publications and Ignite Christian Academy. I live in Inwood, Iowa, which is about 30 miles west of Rock Rapids with my wife and our Bischon. We have two sons married with children, one son, once married, with children and one single son single. Our single son lives in Arizona, but the others are all near.
Favorite Verse
Ephesians 2:8-9: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”
I like this verse because it tells me I did not do anything to earn my salvation; therefore, there is nothing I can do to lose it either.
First Job
Lugging frozen halves of large hogs from the freezer in which they were hanging into a refrigerated truck where we hung them so they could be taken to a processing plant and turned into bacon, ham, and ribs.
Hobbies
I love working in the yard and our flower garden with my wife, and fishing with my grandchildren.
Bucket List Item
I would be very happy if Karen and I would have time and opportunity to travel and see more of the natural beauty in the USA.
Favorite Place
I truly enjoyed visiting South Padre Island, TX, and fishing in the ocean
Person I’d Like to Meet
I would like to meet Rev. Franklin Graham who leads Samaritan’s Purse
