Galen was a lifelong carpenter by trade who built many houses in different states. He was also a pastor in Arkansas, Kentucky, Illinois, and Colorado throughout the years. He loved building homes and seeing people receive spiritual help from the Lord.

Galen was an intense personality and it affected everything he did. He put 100 % into his work, his preaching, and his friendships. You never had to wonder where he stood on any topic, he wouldn’t hesitate to tell you as intensely as he did everything else in his life. He was fiercely patriotic.
