William has been a grateful follower of the Lord Jesus Christ for almost twenty years now. He and Lynde have been married since 2005 and they have five great kids. He has been building things since he was seven years old when he built a muffler for the vacuum (he wanted to watch the exhaust flapper go up and down like on an old tractor). On the farm, he and his dad built everything from buildings to water pumps to fencing. Oh yeah, and he enjoys writing and speaking and talking about this wonderful world the Creator has made.
