Q7:

Q8: I believe that the years I spent in Lynchburg under Gordon Luff and Youth Aflame Ministries had a great deal to do with where I am now as a Christian and family man. I have served as a Television director at church, I have served as a Boy Scout leader which allowed me to minister to many young men and woman through a great program focused on excellence, I have served as a fire fighter and layman cowboy. That's an interesting one, reaching people who would never come to regular church through cowboy sports and activities.

Q9: Having children and realizing how much my parents influenced me and how we should do likewise bringing future generations to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Q10: I have a wonderful full life and have been very blessed in many ways. My wife and I have been together for 21 years. It always amazes me how diverse God can be with the way he works in our lives.
