My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)

As our culture seems to be disintegrating around us, I felt the call of the Holy Spirit to use my Creative Talents to bring Faith, Hope and Love back into Comics instead of Political Propaganda. The theme of my Creator Owned Comic reflects my goal. Do not believe the Cultural Relativism of the day, but do as the Knights of the Order of Sacred Silver in my story would do. Stand. There is Good. There is Evil. Choose. EPHESIANS 6: 12. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

Dream Job: (If you could have your dream job in the comics industry, what would it be?)

Before my calling to use my Talents in the service of my faith, I might have answered, Batman. Sadly, the Political Propaganda seems to have poisoned so much of the publishers' editorial agendas, that my real answer is: "I DO have my Dream Job in the Comics Industry."
