Comments:

Since graduating in 1966, I have a life full of change and challenges. I married a wonderful woman, Cathy Dean, from Helena who has been my best friend for over 37 years. We have had the blessing of being a lawyer, politician (Garfield County Attorney, candidate for Lt Gov, State Senate and Atty Gen). However the greatest joy has come from being born again in 1970 and subsequently accepting the call to pastor churches in Helena and California. We have owned three restaurants, a marina, a personnel agency, a law firm and numerous real estate properties but our passion has been for His church. We presently pastor Open Arms Christian Center in South Central Los Angeles. We enjoy the challenge of bringing Christ to a predominantly African American congregation of recoverning addicts. We have a single mission to "give hope and help to the brokenhearted." We also enjoy planting churches in Mexico and the Philippines.

School Story:

Graduate of University of Montana with a dual major in History/Political Science in 1970 and law school in 1973. My favorite teachers were Merle Haines and Vern Mauritsen. From one I learned to write and from the other how to live.
