I am the youngest of the children, with one sister and two brothers. My Dad was a pastor for many years and a very accomplished musician. My wife, my three sons and I were also accomplished musicians who played and sang in various churches. My background began as an artist and later as an Engineering Designer. At the same time, I was involved in quite a lot of lay speaking in various businessmen's fellowships and churches. After retiring from the engineering field, I am now devoting my time to composing poetry and writing short manuscripts on various subjects. Life is like a great and powerful river that turns the massive dynamos, which in turn provides power and illumination to the darkest areas throughout the world. However, it is the many small and shallow streams that collectively feed into the river that make it so powerful. Let us learn to accept the input of those who seem to be shallow . . . WE NEED THEM!
