I love playing 80’s covers on acoustic guitar doing my own arrangements that quote the originals and their heavy keyboard work. People tend to enjoy an acoustic version of “Tainted Love” just for variety sake… I made the decision to serve a full-time LDS mission for 2 years and left that offer on the table. If you are looking to do any type of business with me I apologize you have to scroll all the way down the page… but it’s really not my first priority in life. I prefer to spend my working energy towards businesses and products that I can get paid residually on. I chased my tail for years making other people money… I have many years dedicated to international business and find the demand overseas for quality nutrition is far greater than here in the states. Here I was asking the Lord for help like I had never done before because quite honestly I led a pretty charmed life as a kid and a teen. And then another call came… there was yet another birth mother that wanted us to have her child and the caseworker confided that a 3rd was very close to making that same decision. So instead of begging to be selected by a birthmother, we were in the driver’s seat and we actually had to be the ones making the choice and evaluating between three birthmothers! Sometimes it’s those special situations where you give more of yourself and again that God-like love is given to help you do what He put you on that path to do. So me and this kid with the special circumstances hit it off in a major way. To the point his parents would call me for “special missions” (him acting out at home) and he ended up spending a lot of time with my wife and me on an individual basis. My plan was to be the #1 provider of independent missionary leads in the world. Quite a foolproof plan in fact… as listeners would gain interest in me and my music (which they were and social media was just blossoming), introduce them to my beliefs which I was quite unabashed about sharing, ask them to hear a message and receive a book from LDS missionaries throughout the world. And I felt I was doing the other Brother Douglas, my mentor of a father that had passed away in my early twenties, some major honor through my church service. But in a way my dad helped set me on a path that I wasn’t expecting to be on. Some ridiculously cute upperclassmen Huntington Beach Mormon girls helped my regular attendance in those early mornings and I discovered a deep love for the Old and New Testaments those first two years. Because he answered me so well, I didn’t push it… I believed the words of Jesus, loved the people in my ward, wanted to serve a foreign mission and I actually liked and embraced standing out as a Mormon at school. My personal mission statement and goal in life I made as a young man attending LDS Youth Conference was to develop charity or allow the love of Christ come in and operate in every aspect of my life. Like Jesus was sent on a complete rescue mission by a loving Father that still wanted me to come home even though I had left Him for dead. [I did give up a UCLA water polo scholarship to serve an LDS mission in Japan. Basically, my goal of my entire athletic life and I was glad to do it! Discouraging youth and members from doing even a simple Google search on Mormon history. Local leaders are propped up as well, totally incapable of making uninspired decisions based on their carrying keys and set apart as a leader in the kingdom. I’ve known many Bishops and lived through some pretty poor decision-making.
