I was born and raised in the city of Detroit. I have lived in at least a dozen places in the 68 1/2 years on the planet. When I went to Cooley 1962-66 I lived on Cloverlawn (2 different houses) , Strathmoor, and Cooley Streets. I was the only kid at Cooley living on Cooley. It's by the old Edgewater Park. I was in one of the several illegal fraternities at Cooley T-O.
In 1966 I was drafted in the Army. I actually went in early 1967. I am a Viet Nam vet and Woodstock vet. Not to go into all the details but, I kind went on the nut after getting out the service. When in the summer of 1969 I had a spiritual awakening with Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ) Being of Jewish heritage and also being beaten up for being Jewish it was quite a feat to get me to believe in Jesus. I lived in a Jesus Freak commune for several years. I later went on to pastor 3 different churches along the way.
Outside of my spiritual awakening the greatest thing or person that affected my life for the good was meeting Sybil Goad. Born in W. Virginia when we got married in 1973 they called us Bagels and Biscuits. We have 3 daughters who live throughout the Detroit area. we have two grandchildren. We lost a son Jonathon David in 1975 when he was 5 weeks old. By the grace of God we have lived through that very difficult time.
We have lived in Woodhaven since December of 1985. We were living in S.W. Detroit before that for 15 years doing ministry and outreach to the addicts and disenfranchised folks in that area. My wife is a nurse for FOMOCO for the past 20 years. I am retired so to speak. I do some part time work as a volleyball recruiter for Henry Ford women's volleyball. Plus volunteer as a coach in volleyball at Woodhaven H.S.. Finally, I still do guest speaking at churches across the Metro Detroit area.
