Don is a native of California. After graduating from high school in 1961 he followed his older sister Marilyn to the University of California in Berkeley which was within walking distance of the family home. Berkeley in 1961 was just a sleepy little college town which would soon gain national and International headlines for Students rights and Vietnam war protests.

By the time of graduation in 1967 Don had met and married his wife of 55 years,Perrin, added a child, Stephen ,and took on a mother-in-law, Maya. Instead of planting roots in California the family moved to Virginia Beach in early 1968 to investigate  Edgar Cayce and the ARE. Planting roots came very quickly upon arrival in Virginia Beach. A job with a major business machine company was secured within 3 days and a  new church home came in 10 days. In the next 16 years Don and Perrin’s family added 4 children and adopted one more for a total of 6.

 Don remained in the office computer business for 40 years  , retiring in 2009. After retiring Don became heavily involved in a prison and jail ministry called Outreach for Christ. That affiliation remains today with Don serving on the board of directors.   In 2013 Don was invited to join a Kairos prison ministry team.  The Kairos ministry is the subject of today’s presentation.
