Virgil was born in 1930 and reared on a farm near South Bend, Indiana during the Great Depression and World War II, both of which had tremendous influences on his life. In 1972 he, his wife Marian, and their three children moved to a small farm where he still enjoys gardening, tending a small apple orchard, and raising beef cattle. They have eight grandchildren and one great grandchild, all of whom seem to enjoy visiting grandpa’s farm.

Upon earning a PhD in physical chemistry from the University of Illinois, his professional career has involved chemical research and process development.

He has also written, produced, and directed twenty full-length Christmas plays for his church.
