About

Welcome!

I am retired with my wife in Beaumont, California after 50 years as a Christian minister in the Seventh-day Adventist denomination.  I was a youth pastor and pastor in the Southeastern California Conference for four years and a professor in the Loma Linda University School of Religion for forty-six years.  I specialized in Christian Ethics.  

Born in Nevada and reared with my two siblings in Hawaii and California in the home of Ralph and Jeanne Larson, I am a graduate of Pacific Union College (B.A.), Claremont School of Theology (D.Min.) and Claremont Graduate University (Ph.D.)

My email address is [email protected].

Thank you!
