My Journey from Poverty to Paradise

People who made a difference in my life and the lives of others.

Starting life during the most traumatic years leading up to and during World War II in occupied Holland, Terry garnered the grit to persevere, adapt, improvise, and overcome adversity in the power provided to him by his Christian faith.

In his mid-20s, and with God's guidance, Terry embarked on a unique journey. Full of adventure, he went west from Holland via New Zealand to immigrate to America-the right way, settling eventually in Hawaii, where he used his immigrant grit to successfully start his financial services business while also being involved in Christian ministry. Terry grew to have the largest impact, both in Hawaii and on the US mainland. Read about his faith journey and be inspired!
