About

Born in 1932 in Kelso, WA. A farm boy, one of 13 siblings, I became a Christian at about 10 years of age. With a Bachelor's in Biblical Studies, I became a Pastor in 1958 in Eureka, MT. Then in Glendale, OR, at the Assembly of God Church, then at North Howell Community Church, at Nyssa United Methodist Church, and at Brooks Hill Free Methodist Church. Received a Bachelor's in Education in 1968, taught at St. Paul Elementary and McLaren in Woodburn, OR, and as a substitute teacher. Served as a Nursing Home Administrator for five years.

I reside with my wife Lois in Newberg, OR. We have four children and seven grandchildren between the two of us.

I have always been a storyteller. Students in schools where I was a substitute teacher would ask me to tell them a story. I had many stories of things I had done, people I had known, places I had gone, or stories I had been told when I was a child.

My first two books are:
1. Incident In The Oregon Desert
2. The Hutchinson Story
