He has also preached to audiences for almost forty years. But his most important qualification for this book is that he was a major participant in the story—he observed it all.
He lives in Glendive, Montana. His family includes his wife, four married children, and eight grandchildren, living in three different states and one foreign country. He has served as pastor of four churches, the present one since 1990. As an avocation, he has been actively tuning, repairing, and rebuilding pianos since 1977. Other interests include motorcycling, gardening, chess, and travel.
For twenty years, he was involved with turbocharged motorcycles and even served for a number of years as the membership director for the Turbo Motorcycle International Owners Association.
His bachelor of sacred music is from Grace University in Omaha, Nebraska. He also earned a master of music degree from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, and studied two years at Grace Theological Seminary in Winona Lake, Indiana.view less
