About me

Location Wisconsin, United States
Introduction In 1967, Ruth, the boys and I were living in Nome Alaska where I was teaching school. We attended an Eskimo mission church. On the evening of Feb. 26 I was saved in an evangelistic meeting in that church. That event set the stage for the rest of my life as Ruth and I have traveled extensively either teaching in mission settings or building buildings for mission organizations.
Interests The photo that is posted is one of me with a Husky pup that befriended me while I was building a building for a missionary in an Eskimo villiage, summer of 2009. I was able to revisit the place of my spiritual birth the summer of 2010 where I helped build a house for a pastor in Nome. Everything about the time in Nome was special including the fellowship that I enjoyed with the pastor, he is one in a million, believe me I have met a lot of them in my travels.
