Family

    My dear wife Bettie; please  Click Here   for more information about the celebration of our October 2003 50th wedding anniversary; in 1994 she retired from the "Biola University's Bookstore" after more than 27 years. She is now serving part-time as a Church Secretary.  We have four children and their spouses who now live in the following general areas: Salem, ORE,  Modesto, CAL,  and Sacramento, CAL; nine grand-sons, two grand-daughters and after November 2007 we have two grand-daughters in law.  We are great grand-parents as of August 2007.  Please  Click Here  and view pictures of our grandson's 2008  "Naval Academy" graduation and commissioning.

Background and Vocation

     In  1952  I graduated (4) from High School in La Grande, ORE (located in Eastern Oregon not too far from the Washington and Idaho borders) and immediately went to "Kinman Business University"  in Spokane, WASH until I went into the U. S. Army and served mostly in the "Army Finance Division" at  Ft. Lewis, Washington until 1956,  I became a Certified Public Accountant (CPA)  in 1960 while working mostly for CPA firms in the Spokane, WASH  area. In l963 we moved from Spokane to the Southern CAL area where I served  "Biola University" (1) as Comptroller for over 5 years and then returned to public accounting.  
        Ultimately I became the founding partner of the Southern CAL CPA firm of  "Bramer, Corsello and Vander Spek."  In 1987 I amicably left this CPA firm and began serving  ONLY  Evangelical Christian Ministries by myself  as an Auditor-CPA.  
        After living more than 30 years in the Southern CA   La Mirada  community  (almost next to Biola University) , we followed some of our family and moved to the Fresno, CAL area in 1994.    In 1999 I  started  the Ministry Finance Team Helps web site and in 2006 this Spending Controls  sister web site.  In 2008  I also make a contribution  to Brad Pendable's Ministry found at  this   Brads Nest of Bees  web site.
        Please Click Here  for more information as how I function today as a retired CPA with an Online emphasis as I provide remote or Online services.   Beginning in 2008 my major ministry thrust  is to maximize the Internet and allied Computer system resources for Christ-Centered Small Ministries via what I call the   FinFax  system.  I do NOT do tax returns or provide CPA audit, or attestation, services.  Please also  Click Here  and discover some other Online services that I do provide.  I have done some writing and public speaking on these topics.

Other Important Issues

    I became a  BLVR  when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior as a teenager in La Grande, ORE  (Click Here for more information about my becoming a  BLVR)  while attending a Conservative Baptist Church there.  Since then, I have been part of  such Churches  where I have served in various capacities;  our Conservative Baptist church home now is "Riverpark Bible Church"  in Fresno, CAL.
     I served on the Board and as Treasurer (2) of the "Evangelical Christian Credit Union - ECCU"  in (2) Southern CAL for most of 1980s.
