Biography:
I've spent perhaps 30 of my 53 years in Alaska. Our family left in 1955 and we returned in 1966. My dad was a drywall contractor and homebuilder; so my working career started a little earlier than most. We also had a family band and played clubs around Anchorage, Palmer and Wasilla; mostly weekends. We worked together about 6 years then I worked for different groups another 6 years.Found God in 1977 and started a different way of life. For more check out the website. I believe it's not how you start but how you finish.
