Life / Experience

Further Education / Work Experiences

Trained/worked as a Carpenter (7 yrs)

Minnesota State Univ. – Mankato Earned a BS Degree Graduated (1988) with honors – Major (Computer Science) / Minor (Accounting)

I worked for 31 years as an IT Software Engineer for national wholesale and retail companies as a team member and team leader on projects which increased productivity and financial benefits for customers and companies.

Community Service

I’ve been actively involved in our church and community. I’ve served as church deacon and leader in the Awana program.

As a Christian, I take seriously our Lord’s call to love Him with all my heart, mind, self and to love my neighbors as myself.

I’ve used my previous experience as a Carpenter on short-term volunteer projects e.g. construction of homes for Wycliffe Bible Translators at the Dallas, TX HQ. Also, I renovated a house to make my parents retirement more comfortable, secure.

Currently

I live in Sioux Falls. Mary Lou, my wife for 45 years, is now with our Lord Jesus for eternity. I’m involved in our community. I volunteer for and support organizations that help children and families in the Sioux Falls area.
