First pivot

The first major pivot that occured in my life on the road to ministry was deciding to go to college at UC Irvine. I remember that I had choices. I applied also to Chico State and looked at another half dozen colleges or so. But it was a great tour that I got at Irvine (better by far than any other tour) that sold me on the place. I loved that all the buildigs were in a circle with a huge park (Aldrich Park, named after the founding chancellor, Dan Aldrich) And so I traveled from home in San Mateo to college in Orange County.

The pivot part didn't hit until the next year when I became a Christian through the combined ministries of CAmpus Crusade, Mariners Church and Dave Hataj. But it was that choice to go to Irvine that years later has proved to be deterministic in where I am today
