I was born in Indianapolis, the older of two children. I grew up on several U.S. Air Force bases as my family transferred from one military location to another. We lived on a base in Great Britain for three years.

I came to know the Lord while recovering from alcoholism. My wife, Ruth, and I have attended Faith Community Church since it began, and feel blessed to be a part of this family.

We consider ourselves refugees from the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, having moved to Vacaville from Watsonville (10 miles from the epicenter.) We recently moved to Fairfield.

I spent 45 years in retail and insurance before retiring in 2003.

I’m blessed with a godly wife and a God-centered church, I am humbled at being selected to represent Faith Community Church as one of its deacons. Serving the Lord is a blessing and a joy.
