The first four years of Wade's life were in Southwest Michigan. From there his family moved to Naselle WA, where his parents taught in the school district. He received God's Word and salvation while being discipled through a boy scout program called God and Country where the Pastor required Bible memorization. He graduated from Western Washington University in Bellingham with a degree in Math education. He has been a jack of "all trades". After a failed marriage, God blessed Wade with a wife in 1999 who has contributed to his spiritual life and enriched his earthly life on this pilgrimage together. Of the many scriptures God has blessed us with, one of the most precious to Wade is 1 Timothy 1:12-17 because it reminds him of The Son's love, which was more than abundant to overwhelm the evils of his life and demonstrate Christ's patience to all who might believe, resulting in the exaltation of our eternal awesome God and King. He enjoys reading, fellowship, football, basketball, music, heavy equipment, electric vehicles and warmer climates.
