About Me
I was born in Rock Rapids, IA, which is also now the physical location of Ignite Christian Academy. I live in Inwood, Iowa, which is about 30 miles west of Rock Rapids. I have two sons married with children, one son, once married, with children and one single son who lives with me.
Favorite Verse
Ephesians 2:8-9: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”
I like this verse because it tells me I did not do anything to earn my salvation; therefore, there is nothing I can do to lose it either.
First Job
Drafting for a Civil Engineering firm. I would draw up lot surveys and make needed changes and corrections on project plans.
Hobbies
I love working in the yard and my flower gardens, attending anything my grandchildren are performing in and riding my bicycle.
Bucket List Item
Participate on the ground in an aid-giving project with Samaritan’s Purse.
Favorite Place
I enjoy visiting mountains–the Grand Tetons, the Rockies and the Great Smoky mountains.
Person I’d Like to Meet
I would like to meet Rev. Franklin Graham who leads Samaritan’s Purse
