Since graduating from Walla Walla College (now Walla Walla University) in 1967 I have been a pastor, evangelist, missionary, gospel music recording artist, Private pilot, houseparent, husband, father, and grandfather, among other things. I've lived in Washington State, Oregon, California, Michigan, West Virginia, Ohio, and Taiwan. I'm married to my college sweetheart, Ruth Christensen, with whom I celebrated 51 years of marital bliss in 2018. In 1998 I received my D.Min from Andrews University after defending my dissertation on Teamnet Ministries. I am currently retired living in College Place, Washington.
