He attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison and worked in a hospital for severely mentally retarded children for two and a half years, and then moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he worked for a landscaping company for one year where he became acquainted with the Mexican-Indian culture. After a year there, he moved to the mountains of Colorado where he lived off and on for thirty-five years.
In 1980, he went to Costa Rica where he was in a Peace Corps training school for four months where he became proficient in the Spanish language. Choosing to not enter the Peace Corps, he returned to Colorado and, in 1985, traveled to the Philippines and was married to a Filipina. He moved to the Philippines permanently in 1992 and lived there for ten years. For four years, he taught non-denominational Bible classes in the jails in the capital city of the island where he lived.
In the fall of 2007, he traveled to Mexico with his truck and travel trailer where he lived in an orphanage for five months for three consecutive winters, which is the basis of the book Family Time. An Adventure in Mexico. He now lives on the family farm outside of Two Rivers, Wisconsin, and is developing a subdivision.view less
