Biographie:
John lives near Calgary, Canada, with his wife of many happy years. Together they have raised four children to adulthood. John and his wife met at a church in Edmonton and have since lived in several locations to follow his career. Included in their travels is a time in Scotland as volunteers in a Christian drug rehab program for young men. A career in the Petroleum Industry as a tradesman, inspector supervisor, and consultant was paralleled by his involvement in Christian church activities including that of teacher, leader, board member, and Elder. His keen interest in church affairs and his training in quality management has given him an understanding about how governance and theology should work together. John is continually careful to rest his experience on what the Bible has to say about the state of the affairs of men's hearts and lives.
