My life has been a journey of spiritual awakening, personal growth, and diverse professional experiences. Though I accepted Jesus as a teenager, it wasn’t until later in life that I fully embraced living for Him. This turning point set me on a path of continuous rediscovery. After earning my GED at North Iowa Community College in 1973, I began a 25-year career in agriculture, managing retail facilities and wholesale territories. Later, I transitioned into roles in car sales, chauffeuring, and bookkeeping, approaching each opportunity as a chance for growth.
Guided by my faith, particularly the teachings of Matthew 6:33–34, I strive to seek God’s kingdom first in all I do. My spiritual foundation has enriched my personal and professional life, shaping my commitment to serving others and fostering meaningful relationships. As a husband, father, grandfather, and stepparent, my family is the cornerstone of my life.
Motivated by a desire to contribute to communal prosperity, I aim to use my abilities to uplift those around me while being led by divine will. My journey reflects the transformative power of faith, adaptability, and a steadfast commitment to creating a future of hope and abundance.
