Journey of Failure

I was born in 1957 in the city of Santa Barbara, California; graduated High School and went into the Air Force in 1976. I spent about 5 years in the Air Force as a K-9 Handler. After the Air Force, I went to Bible College at Capital Bible Institute in Sacramento, California from 1981 to 1983. After Bible College, I went back home to Santa Barbara to be a Youth Pastor at Open Bible Church. I returned to Sacramento in 1986 where I worked various jobs until 1998 when I became a Correctional Peace Officer for the State of California. I now have 17 years as a Correctional Peace Officer. While working for the Department of Corrections I have worked part time as a Men''s leader, and volunteered with Young Adults and with Men''s small groups. Over the last 3 to 4 years, I have been helping promote Courage World Wide, and their rescue of sex trafficked girls. I am in the process of becoming an Ambassador for them. During the last 5 to 10 years, I have received counsel and have found the healing of many wounds in my heart. The purpose of this book is to help other men become aware of what is in their hearts, and the way forward to healing. This will be my first book, hopefully not the last.
