Although I was raised in a Christian home, God did not save me until his particular “fullness of time” for me, which came when I was 46 years old. I had been trained as an engineer and worked in the computer industry with a measure of success that allowed me to ‘retire’ in 2001. With a new focus on making the most of my time, now committed to spreading the gospel, I returned to school and completed a degree in biblical counseling and another degree in theology. In 2009 I was three years into my first senior pastor (aka “only pastor”) . . .

I honestly can’t remember how I first got started in the ministry, but credit the Lord for bringing me to the website and signing up as a volunteer.  The Lord has really helped develop in me a love for writing and especially about writing about the word of God.  I love researching answers to questions and learning new things myself.  I love this ministry and feel it is a big part of my service to the Lord.

Hard to believe it has been 10 years, time flies when you enjoy what you are doing. I can't remember exactly how I came across the got questions web site, as best I remember, I think I did a google search and gotquestions came up.  When I saw you needed writers I applied, and the rest is history as they say. There is not really one question that stands out to me over the past 10 years, but having answered many questions related to Jewish culture and evangelism, those have been the most enjoyable for me to write about. A close second are questions . . .

I met Shea and Melissa at breakfast during the Independent Fundamental Churches of America convention in 2009. I was intrigued by their work and enjoyed our brief encounter. Later, I heard a conversation about a breakout session they held that they needed writers, so I went to their booth and expressed an interest in volunteering with GQ. I received the application shortly after, they accepted me, and I began my time. I do have a favorite question. A man from Australia wrote with a concern about the unpardonable sin. It led to a dialogue . . .

Ten years with GotQuestions! Wow! Only a few months away from age 70, I can look back and say it has been a wonderful ride with this ministry. Currently living in Wisconsin, raised in Illinois, university schooling in Nebraska, Virginia and Texas, and having lived in six towns in Texas (Midland, Houston, Corpus Christi, Lubbock, Dallas and Del Rio) along with short stints in Denver and Alabama, both before and interspersed with my geology career overseas, which took me and my family to Indonesia, Nigeria, Kuwait, Qatar, Argentina, Russia  and . . .
