     "I was a preacher's kid. My father was the most Godly man I have ever known.   He sought God in everything, everyday. During a week-long revival meeting at our church in Edgerton Wyoming, I was convicted and, at the age of seven accepted Jesus as my Savior. We attended every service and on weeknights I would go to other churches with dad for revivals and special services. But, later, while a student at Bible College I fell out of fellowship.  I was kicked out of college and found myself in theNavy. While in San Diego I had three roommates who I thought were just like me. We all loved basketball and played on the same team.  But, they were unsaved.  After a couple months I realized that I knew something, rather I knew someone that they didn't know.  I repented and returned to the Lord.   After the Navy I went on to get my degree in Broadcasting at Cedarville College.   I met Vicky while she was going to Maranatha Baptist Bible College. Working in Christian Radio Station management, we havelived all over the country. WI, IL, WV, OH, IA, MI and back to IL. We had three beautiful children.   In 1997 God took our oldest daughter, Yvonne, home at the age of 17.  I have realized that time is short.   So, I have one priority. That is to do all I can for the Lord.   I have a burden for using today's technology to reach the lost.  As you can tell by my photo, I am not young anymore, so get out of my way I have a lot to do and not much time to get it done.  I am glad to have found a solid Independent Baptist Church that doesn't want to blend in with the world and is proud to identify itself as BAPTIST."
