Bud is a real estate investor, husband, father and grandfather residing in Southeast Wisconsin. He is known for his delicious works of art in the kitchen, supportive presence at his grandchildren’s sporting events, and always being willing and ready to share the Word of God. As a man of many talents and interests, some of his most cherished accolades surround his work in prison ministries, health-based volunteer work, and never being “too busy” to sit with a child who wants to swing on a playground, build a tall tower, or listen to stories. First Wish is his debut children’s book.
