One of My Greatest Experiences with God: I was at a Men’s Retreat in Colorado, and one of the men was on the verge of having his house repossessed and needed $25,000. The men at the retreat (in response to God) gave over $30,000 to the man. It was one of the most incredible responses of generosity I have witnessed. It not only blessed the man and his family, it blessed all those who experienced God’s miraculous manifestation.

Most People Don’t Know This About Me: I designed a Racquetball Health Club which was named Kings Court. I developed the business plan including the financial model and sold it to an investor who built the club as I designed it.
