A follower of the Way. 

My background is in engineering and business. I was one of three partners in a manufacturing company for many years.

My travel, mostly for engineering work, has included a trip to Seoul South Korea and within five miles of the DMZ, to Dhahran and Jubail Saudi Arabia and the oil fields worked by Saudi Aramco, to Warsaw and Bialystok Poland, to England during the Queen’s silver jubilee, to Rio De Janeiro, to Mexico  – Tuxpan and Tampico, Mexico City, and Sonora state, to many of the provinces of Canada, including Saskatchewan when it was 40 degrees below zero, and to most of the U.S.

“So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the secret things of God. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.”

The Apostle Paul, 1 Corinthians 4:1-5

“My job is to make clear to everyone just what the secret plan is, the purpose that’s been hidden from the very beginning of the world in God who created all things. This is it: that God’s wisdom, in all its rich variety, was to be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places – through the church.”

The Apostle Paul, Ephesian 3: 9 & 10

I most enjoy the writings of Anton Chekhov. Chekhov is a concise storyteller with profound human insight.

Like Chekov, I make no apologies for the difficulties posed to readers of my stories or for their lack of moral finality. I see my role as a writer to be that of an artist who poses questions and mystery.
