Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
Growing up I was raised in the family bakery trade, which my Dad owned small bakeries in Illinois. We started the day at 2:00am and work hard. I accepted the Lord after going through the Teen Challenge program and went on from there to Bible College and Pastor churches. We spent 2 years in China as missionaries. We have 7 kids, 5 have graduated from Evangel University in Springfield, MO, and the other 2 attend Christian Liberty Academy in Arlington Heights, IL.
