There never was a time when I wasn't imagining up some creative art work, the memories extending back to my earliest recollection. But this work exceeded my imagination: it was given to me in a special spiritual experience. I was born to do this.

Who We Are

"We" is a term that has snowballed from the singular to plural as one man's vision of a world class sculpture park dedicated to Jesus Christ has spread over the decades. The people that dedicate time, resources, and support to the realization of the Christ in America Legacy Park have each gained an individual conviction of the project and its timeliness in today's world.
