Greetings in the name of our Lord and risen Savior, Jesus Christ. What an awesome God we have – to be known to Him by name is truly an everlasting blessing.

My family and I have been here at Shepherd for fourteen years and I have been Property Manager for the last twelve. My beautiful and talented wife, Soona, and I have been married for 20 years. She is from Seoul, South Korea and loves to decorate with flowers.

I grew up on a farm near small town in south central Nebraska. Farming, Grade “A” dairy, and school occupied my time. Farming is still dear to my heart. I attended Trinity Lutheran School through the 8th grade. After graduating from Blue Hill High School in 1967, I went to the University of Nebraska – Lincoln for a while and then “joined” the military in 1969. Twenty four years later, I retired from the Air Force as a Master Sergeant and began to realize more fully the reason for the military bringing us to San Antonio – God had a plan. His plan included: my employment; Soona realizing her talents as a flower designer for the church for many years; the ability for Jackie to attend and graduate from Shepherd of the Hills School and later Lutheran High School in San Antonio; and more love, caring and support from a congregation than could ever be imagined.
