His bio:
I was born and raised in Northern California back when the world seemed to be a bit more sane. I spent almost eight years in the Marine Corps, I was able to go around the world twice and see some beautiful places. I got out to try and save my first marriage, and I stayed out so I could be close to my kids. I was in the first gulf war (Desert Storm).
I am the operations manager for a material testing/geotechnical firm. My wife of 25 years and I have five kids, thirteen grandkids, and four great grandkids. Which brings me to why I am joining the OMSDT Knights Templars. The way this world has become, I need to be with like-minded fellow Christians, to help strength my faith and that Jesus Christ is our Lord and savior. My wife and I currently do not go to church as we have not found one that we are comfortable in as of right now. Church should be a place where you feel at home.
I feel this organization will help me to grow in my faith and keep me on the straight and narrow.
