I have been a salesman, mechanic, minister, entrepreneur, teacher, professor, researcher, and college dean. I am the father of four daughters, two grandsons and two granddaughters, “One in Heaven”. I have been an athlete all of my life and some of my favorites from my youth are and were wrestling, boxing, martial arts, all forms of skiing including extreme skiing all over in Western US and Canada. I hope to help put poor people into homes, make sure that they have enough to eat and I love to teach.
