Wm. Wayne West took on his first job, delivering grocery handbills, at ten years of age and has ever since been blessed with the health and willingness to work. His accomplishments include the following: paper route, Dairy Queen soda jerk, park ranger, coal fireman, grocery warehouseman, firefighter, carpenter's helper, emergency medical technician, minister of music, minister of youth, asphalt sealer, minister of education, college professor, pastor, Air Force chaplain, truck driver, Veteran's Affairs Hospital chaplain, and church camp caretaker.
Along the way, with the help of God and his good wife, Kathy, he has acquired many letters after his name: BS in Ed, MDiv, DMin, and BCC. With the same attributions, Wayne has contributed to raising three fine children (Amy, Beth, and Billy), who are raising seven equally fine grandchildren (Anna Belle, Aubrey Elle, Elaina Sorrelle, William Eli, William Max, Oliver William, and Emmaline Charlotte).
He grew up in the inner city but has always been drawn to the woods, hills, lakes, and streams of God's creation. A teacher at heart, he loves to share stories and lessons from the Word of God and his life.
