Then his family moved to California where he graduated from Bible College. He taught Jr. and Sr. High School while continuing taking education classes in California State Colleges. After completing two years in US Army at Ft. Bragg, NC, he spent time in Barcelona, Spain attending school while helping with missionary work. Then followed a year in NYC, NY doing church ministry. The following year, while teaching in the San Francisco Bay area he married his wife, Cecilia. In 1986, they moved to Apache Junction with their three boys, Aaron, Adam and Josiah Moving from a congested, expensive area to an undeveloped part of the Valley where horse property, slower paced and healthier life style finally became a dream come true! The seemingly long process that took them to obtain their own piece of real estate made the stop here very gratifying. Assisting and being involved in pastoral ministry, teaching young people, and getting involved with their boys in the local 4-H horse and pygmy goat programs has helped them appreciate and preserve the western, rural personality of the area. With an empty nest now, Ben and Cecilia, continue to be busy with desert gardens that never seem to be finished. The 4-H project leftovers has increased to a turnover thru out the years of horses, goats, specialty dogs that have been part of Cecilia's breeding projects, and the ever present cats and birds that make the home complete and happy. Oh, and the occasional calf and hog that grow themselves into the family freezer! Cecilia has just left ten years of driving for the Apache Junction Schools to fully enjoy the western dream. Ben is making the transition from postal worker to full time in helping others fulfill their joy in acquiring their own piece of real estate where they can be content. That's rewarding! Ben can also be Lake Realty's channel in reaching the growing Hispanic community. Aqui se habla--haremos tod
