I have been blessed being married to my amazing wife Gayle for 52+ years. We have 2 sons and their wonderful wives, 4 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.

I asked Jesus into my life during my junior year when attending Fresno State, however, I did not submit and follow Jesus until I participated in Bible Study Fellowship (BSF). This is where I began to study and understand the truth and meaning of the Word and grew in my faith in Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. I attended and facilitated classes in BSF for 8 years. I attended and served at First Presbyterian Church in Livermore and Cornerstone Fellowship for a combined time of 30 years. The ministries that I was involved in were youth ministries, Christian counseling and playing in worship bands.

After I retired as an Environmental Health Specialist for Alameda County, we moved full time to our home in Pine Mountain Lake. Gayle and I became members of GEFC in 2012. The ministries that I am involved in are worship band, food closet and elder leadership.
