I committed my life to Christ in June 1976 and attend Portland Bible College (Portland, Oregon) 1979-1983, where I earned a Bachelor in Theology. I then attended Portland State University, graduating in 1987 with a B.S. in Accounting. I met my wife in 1989 and we married in 1993. After working as an accountant for 21 years, I retired from that career in 2008.

Having served in a variety of ministries over the years, including 7 years as a moderator of the Bible.org forum, I now serve as a teaching and governing elder in our local Calvary Chapel congregation, also wearing the hats of treasurer and CFO.

Always learning (and sometimes unlearning), my theological perspectives have changed over the years. At this point in my pilgrimage, I would characterize my doctrinal position as Evangelical, Reformation Arminian, Charismatic, Conditionalist, and Complementarian. Some of my more recent enlightenments have come by way of Michael S. Heiser, author of The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible.
