to entering the ministry was as a Systems Analyst for Home Federal Bank.

He moved to San Diego, California in 1977 and received Christ as Savior and Lord in January of 1978. Our Lord gave him an intense hunger for His Word and a desire to serve Him in whatever capacity He saw fit to use him. He attended the San Diego School of Evangelism
