This person's life was forever changed in 1981 by Jesus Christ, whereupon he attended Bible College, graduating with honors, was ordained as a pastor; learned the home improvement business to make ends meet; conducted Grace Overcomer's meetings for 15 years, using the addictions manual he wrote and published; went to the mission field in Mexico City; served for a time as full time chaplain at the Salvation Army. In his mid-sixties he took a job as a salesman for Owens Corning Basement finishing Systems and became the top designer for five consecutive years, selling over 5 million dollars in business during that time. He is currently working on his autobiography "Dirty Feet". In addition he published his first book of poems "The Ballad of King George and other Poems" in 2007. He resides with his wife of 25 years, Sandra, whose heart he won with a poem. Presently as the founder and director of Grace Overcomers, he hopes to expand on many stories of successful recovery in the book he wrote.
