I am eighty-seven years old and am retired. I worked fifty years for a heavy equipment manufacturer making extruders for the animal feeds industry, mechanical screw presses and solvent extractors for the oilseed industries and dewatering equipment for the synthetic rubber industry. Our machines were sold all over the world. I wound up as Director of Research and Development and traveled to many countries starting up and troubleshooting our equipment in customer plants. In my line of work, I wrote many journal articles and contributed chapters to several technical books, like Bailey’s Industrial Oils and Fats. I am married, have four children and six grandchildren and three great grandchildren. I also posted many book reviews of popular books on The Internet. In my youth, after I had finished high school, I joined the Air Force in 1950, and was given a small pocket-sized New Testament and, having little else to do; I wound up being fascinated by the imagery in Revelation. I never lost that fascination. I also came across Immanuel Velikovsky’s Worlds in Collision in the airbase library. I think that book launched me into a lifelong curiosity to find out if any of what he wrote is actually true. I read all of Velikovsky’s books and many books by other scientists, including those critical of Velikovsky, like Carl Sagan. When I got out of the Air Force, I went to college and earned a bachelor’s degree in Natural Science. Later, during my mature years, I had a conversion experience and wound up trying to work out the contradictions between my scientific aspirations and my newly rediscovered Christian roots. It was a long journey for me, and I eventually wrote several books about my experiences. I am honored to be one of the Goodreads Authors. I hope you find my books interesting.
