I grew up in Pasadena, Califonia until the age of 15. In 1975 my family moved to San Bernadino, Califonia. In 1978 I received my GED.

1994 I discovered gambling, even though I was born-again in 1979. I struggled.

Finally, during Easter 2009 I came to the Salt Lake City Mission for help. Instead of trying on my own, after five years in Las Vegas to be who Jesus wants me to be, instead of falling backwards while trying to go forwards - God is changing my heart for what He wants, instead of my wants.

Now I am blessed to having the time to let God work on me and thru me by getting to the heart of the matter - Getting My First Love Back!
