Nickname: Mr. T: when I was serving in middle school I asked the guys that were in one of the groups to call me that and it stuck.          

A little about yourself: I grew up in Paramount and Downey CA. Part of Los Angeles.  I moved to Huntington beach after I was discharged from the Army when I was 21 and lived there until I married my wife in 1987. We lived  in Orange County CA until 1999 when we moved to Brier, WA. My wife Laura and I just moved to Bellingham on July 4, 2017. We have a daughter and son both living out of state at this time. I have an AA in electronics working on lasers and in aerospace.

Favorites:

• Take a hike , watch  a sunset  with my wife, work in the garden, go on a road trip, explore new areas, try something new, have a good conversation.
• Favorite verse at this moment in time: Philippians 4:6-7

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
