I was born and raised in Northwest Ohio. I went to a Catholic grade and a Catholic high schools. By I the time I went to college, I didn’t give God much thought. I graduated from Kent State University and began working. In September of 1977 I made a commitment to live for Christ. Since then I have been reading and studying the bible. After working at MCO/UT for 31 years I retired, took a year off, and then taught ESL at Water for Ishmael for 6 years, retiring again in 2019.
