17. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My grandfather had 8 brothers that were ministers so I was raised in a very religious family. I remember going to camp meetings, Oral Roberts and Billy Graham crusades. When I was 14 my grandfather helped promote gospel singing concerts and I met and traveled with The Hopper Brothers and Connie, the Gaithers and the Oak Ridge Boys. I have continued my faith by going to church on a regular basis and was married in 1999 to my wife of 20 years, Elizabeth at First Presbyterian Church and have two lovely boys. We currently attend Clear Lake Presbyterian Church. I believe in the old and new testament.
