Graduated from Baptist Bible College of Pennsylvania (formerly of Johnson City, NY) in 1968 with a Bachelor's degree in Religious Education. Served in the United States Army from January 1969 to October 1970 including a year-long assignment as a Chaplain's Assistant in Vietnam.
Met Donna Harrington (Evergreen High School, Class of '69) at a picnic hosted by her parents on July 4, 1969. Told her I loved her on July 9th, proposed on July 13th and presented the engagement ring to her on October 10th by the fountain near the Space Needle. Waited until I returned from Vietnam to be married in Burien in December 1970.
Graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in Business Administration/Accounting in 1972. Worked as an auditor for Deloitte (formerly Touche Ross & Company) in Salem, Oregon before entering private industry as a CPA, Controller and Secretary-Treasurer.
Left the business world at the end of 1976 to pursue a full-time career in Christian ministry, beginning as a Minister of Youth & Visitation in Burien in January 1977. Since then pastored churches in Oregon and Washington and am currently serving with Northwest Independent Church Extension (NICE) as a missionary-pastor in Wenatchee. Also serve as a sectional Vice-President with the IFCA Pacific Northwest Regional, an affiliate of IFCA International.
Favorite hobby: landscape design and yard maintenance for personal enjoyment.
