Biography
DR. LAURENCE H. HARPER I was raised a Christian since birth. However, as is the case with all Christians, I am a sinner, forgiven and saved only by the sacrifice, mercy, and glory of Jesus Christ. I do not profess to be an expert in the epistemology of social evolution, but I do possess a true desire to promote the alternative position – the consistency of God's instruction and direction for our lives. My mother is an active witness for Jesus Christ, and the daughter of the late Dr. Benjamin P. Browne, past president of the American Baptist Association, Founder of Judson University in Elgin, Illinois, and prolific Christian writer. My father was the very first Neurosurgeon in Northern California, when he began his practice in San Jose in 1949. I am second of five children, all of whom are believers in the deity, resurrection, and salvation of our Lord, Jesus Christ. I was re-born in 1971, when I was baptized by Pastor Chuck Smith, Founder of Calvary Chapel. I am married to beautiful Michaelyn; we have five exceptional children and two grandchildren. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Business Management, an MBA, and a Ph.D. in Psychology. My professional life has been one of creating businesses, only to sell them later down the road. Yes, I am an incurable entrepreneur who develops innovative solutions for unresolved commercial business problems. My businesses have generally been in the technology sector and have served Fortune 500 companies. I am presently forming a new GPS/AVL company, which will make available a cost-effective product, useful for fleet-management logistics and security applications. |
