Birthplace and Hometown

I was born on August 14, 1954 in Berwyn, Il.

When I became a believer.  Born again date.

I was born again as an 8 year old in the summer of 1962 when I walked alone into First Baptist Church of Elmhurst, I L. I stayed faithful to that church until I was 13 when the Youth Pastor told me that you can’t be a Christian and play Rock n Roll music. It was then I left organized religion and began seeking a New Testament style Church.

I found a house church in my senior year of High School and rededicated my life to Christ in February 1972 at age 17.

I have enjoyed the grace and mercy of the Lord ever since just as Peter did.
