Ted was a man who wore many different hats, but his favorite…submariner with the U.S Navy. He also owned a construction business, pastored religious congregations, managed several rental properties, worked in the oilfield for Mobile Pipeline and Honeywell. He was an avid self-educated student of the Holy Bible and enjoyed teaching others of his discoveries.

Anyone who knew Ted knew he could solve many a problem, rebuild/fix any engine or machine with moving parts. He loved inventing, tinkering and spending time in his shop. His curiosity was never ending. He found equal joy working in his garden, researching current events, diving into conspiracy theories, and exploring holistic living. Ted busied himself by building and flying his own airplane, building multiple homes for his family from the foundation to completion. He was self-taught on many levels, enjoyed learning and teaching others.
