Dream Vacation: I would love to visit the spots in Israel and see where Apostoles and Jesus walked. I would seriously love to rent a beach for an entire month with just my wife and I and have a beachfront cottage with air conditioning. I love the water and love being out in the middle of the ocean. Also I'd love to tour Europe and see the various places in world history. Whereever I go, there will be lots of food robust in flavor with all the condiments you want. Don't you hate it when you go to a fast food joint and the person behind the
counter
wields
just a little too much power and stricly limits you to one BBQ and one ketchup packett with two recycled paper thin napkins that fall apart the moment you wipe your mouth? I'd also like to be able to visit heaven before actually going there.
My First Car was a... 1984 Red Ford LTD
Dream Car: I don't really care about cars...maybe one with AC my car doesn't have it.
Favorite Candy Bar: Kit-kat or Butterfinger
Most embarrassing moment: Which one. I decided to use my e-brake in my 1994 Saturn my dad gave me, and go skidding through a water logged baseball field. Well…I didn’t know you could get stuck in a baseball field. Yes I got my car stuck in a baseball field up to the axels. I had to call a tow truck and get winched out, got a ticket from the police for reckless driving, and then had to go back and repair the baseball field.
I am afraid of: Dial-up Internet, Michael Jackson, Dying before my kids, Missing Heaven.
Hobbies: Spending time with my family, lots of church events and ministry, owning my own business, eating good food, studying God's word and working on my relationship with him. I'm really trying to decrease entertainment right now, and increase him.
Few people know that I…I think I'm claustrophobic and I can actually play the sax.
I was 12 years old when I received the Holy Ghost.
Biggest concern for our Iowa Youth: Reaching a level of commitment to God so that the flame doesn’t fizzle even after graduation and you start to get out on your own. We’ve lost too many young people after high school, a graducation evacutation, you know who they are. Holiness, Holiness, Holiness...you CAN be holy in today's day and age. Being sincere with God and not faking it.
I love Iowa young people because…I grew up in Iowa and have a burden to see the Kingdom of God in Iowa grow and being involved in Youth Ministry is one way to make a HUGE impact on that goal. I want to see Iowa students grow up to become new home missions Pastors in Iowa, tomorrows church bus drivers, sunday school teachers, home bible study givers, pastors, pastors wives, evangelists, musicians, singers, worship leaders, and over all Christians making the church in Iowa continue to grow. It's an awesome sight to see the growth and transformations of young people that I literally saw grow up from babies. What a
testimony
to see new young men and women called by God to do a work for him...keep it up peeps...ward.

Dream Car: BMW convertible
Favorite Candy Bar: Butterfinger
Most embarrassing moment: I have had several. I enjoy talking to my peeps via phone. There have been several occasions where I forgot who I dialed as they answered, a good way to keep me “ON MY TOES”. If you can think it, I have probably done it.
I am afraid of: (B.C.) Rejection (A.D.) not so much anymore.
Hobbies: Family, Food, Fellowship, Video Games
Few people know that I...Cried when Ole Yeller died. I know, I am a softy.
I was 25 years old when I received the Holy Ghost.
Biggest concern for our Iowa Youth: I purpose a challenge to the youth of Iowa to fill the shoes of our dignified elders. How many of us consider working secular jobs vs. working in the vineyard of God. The fields are white, Our time is Now, we need to step up. Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; - Who will answer the call? Who is listening for the call?
I love Iowa young people because...They are sincere, fun to be around, they are willing to praise at all times, and I see what they could be for Jesus. The Apostolic Youth of Iowa truly make a difference!!!

Favorite Candy Bar: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Most embarrassing moment: I was standing with my friends at a fall carnival in Illinois at night. I was a junior in High School, and only one of my friends had met my parents. There must have been 10 to 20 people around me. Well not to drag this out, but it was about time to go home and my parents were supposed to meet me at the car. Parents never listen. They started to walk toward me so I ignored them like any other High School student would. My Graceful, wonderful mother of 33 years now, twisted her ankle in a hole and my friend was pointing at her and said the most embarrassing thing that I’ve ever heard. He said, “Dude, isn’t that your mom”. I walked straight to the car and did not look back.
I am afraid of: My wife when she’s sick, lawn mowers (that’s what I tell my wife), and large mean guys.
Hobbies: archery, construction, and being a good neighbor.
Few people know that I…have an older brother named Scott.
I was 10 years old when I received the Holy Ghost.
Biggest concern for our Iowa Youth: They have to get plugged in to something greater. Never looking back at the past, but always pressing toward the future, going deeper in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
I love Iowa young people because…We are not afraid to stand on truth in a generation that is doing nothing but rejecting it. Iowa Young people capture my heart every time I see them reach out to someone hurting, lost, or depressed, without shame, always willing to go a little further, dig a little deeper, and run a little faster. Iowa young people ROCK!!!

Dream vacation: My dream vacation would be to Isreal. I would like to visit the waling wall as well as many other historical places. If I make it to the Sea of Galilee, I might even try walking on the water. Why not? I would also love to go skydiving someday.
1st car: 1980 Chevy Malibu
Dream Car: Lincoln Navigator
Favorite candy bar: snickers
Most embarrassing moment: too many to get started on that subject
I am afraid of: large bodies of water. My wife would love to go on a cruise but I can’t see floating around in a big box without seeing land.
Hobbies: fishing with my kids (they always catch more than I do), spending time with my family, studying church history (the apostolic movement in America did not begin at Azusa Street, but much earlier-check it out) and insects.
Few people know that: Woodrow Wilson is in my family tree.
I was 12 when I received the Holy Ghost
Biggest concern for Iowa Yougn People: my biggest concern is that our young people spend way too much time on entertainment and so little time with God. I think this also points to the lack of direction and desire to work in the kingdom of God.
I love the Iowa young people because... they are really a great group of people. They always respond so well to the word of God at our events. I am just blessed to work with this district.
