I've lived in the Pacific Northwest since my early teens and have a deep love for the beauty of this region. I'm an avid recumbent bicyclist and motorcycle rider. I've spent many years in retail management, maintenance supervision and love to invent. However my greatest love is for the Church. A believer since early childhood, I have served and ministered with devotion within several denominational groups, but came to a crisis of faith in my late thirties which caused me to reevaluate what it is I believe. Seeking Gods face I was given a powerful understanding of what Jesus had accomplished on the Cross. The journey towards a transformed life has been remarkable ever since.
