About Me

I am a retired heat transfer research engineer with a PhD in Chemical Engineering. I was a non-believer until age 42 when I became a "born-again" Christian. I enjoy reading (e.g.Robin Cook, Ted Dekker, Dean Koontz, Bob Woodward, Marcus Borg, Bible), playing soprano sax, and singing in choir. Six children and 11 grandchildren
