Place born & raised: I was born in Whittier, California, but I was raised in Anaheim, California, for most all of my life.

Favorite scripture: It’s a hard choice because of the vastness of the scriptures but here are a few of my favorites:

• Jeremiah 9:23-24 "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD.
• Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
  This is what the LORD says:
• Ephesians 2:8-10 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
• 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Hobby or Leisure Activity: I like to play golf, read books, and watch just about any kind of sports on television!

Favorite TV show or movie: My two favorite television shows are "24" and "Pardon the Interruption" (a sports talk show that I watch just about every day)! Two of my all time favorite movies are "The Great Escape" with Steve McQueen and "Rocky" with Sylvester Stallone.

Person I admire: My dad (he gave me a great example of how to be a good person), Floyd Strater (former Pastor at Knott Avenue Christian Church in Anaheim who was a great example of a faithful pastor), Tony Dungy (head coach of the Indianapolis Colts and outspoken Christian leader)

Favorite author: James Patterson & Lee Child (suspense novels)

Favorite food or restaurant: My all time favorite food is pizza! I enjoy Italian food – especially Tiramisu for dessert! I also love good Mexican Food. A couple of my favorite places to eat at are "In-N-Out Burger" and "Wahoo Fish Taco’s" (in Orange County).
