BIOGRAPHY

FIRST ADDITION. 1/27/2023, 4am REVISED, 1/30/2023, 5:30pm

I have decided to hand-type this BIO. It is from my heart. My history is accurate to my knowledge and reflects my best intention of being upfront, truthful and responsible with the integrity of information. (WIP)

AUTHOR AND FOUNDER OF CDCS RESEARCH. "I'm also told there is Jewish history on my grandmother's side. Forgot to mention. It's somewhere in there"

Intro

KEVIN SIMON, 37 

 

Author, founder and content creator, CDCS RESEARCH; theological studies, Pastoral ministries major, and graduate.

Former member, and Senior staff at a Bible college of WORLD CHALLENGE LLC, founder: PASTOR DAVID WILKERSON, "The Cross And The Switchblade."

David was a colleague and close friend of my uncle Roger who ministered with him in Canada and remained close until his death in 2010. My uncle Roger sponsored me to attend his school because he saw the hand of God calling me into ministry as he was. I shook his hand personally. These are facts. I stand on my own platform before God, and we are not trying to re-produce former generations, but we will retain the message of Christ.
I appeared in a 2005 newsletter.

My Uncle Roger was a professor at universities and had a church-growing leadership over many churches around the southwest regions.

BIRTH PLACE

I was born in Montreal, Canada. Within close relationship with a military family in the Air Force of my mother's family. My family has a rich history and cultural background, as I come from a native bi-lingual chief family who presided over important matters of tribal land in OKA.

My great grandfather, Ward Griepp, was a WW2 veteran who served in one of the air divisions and took part in the famous paradrop into France. He also had the opportunity to visit Hitler's compound at the end of the war, where he took flag and memorabilia, as well as a bayonet from a German rifle. Growing up, my family and I often traveled to be close to family stationed at different air bases.


My ancestry is a blend of Canadian and French from my father's side and German and Wisconsin from my mother's side. My mother's family includes the Griepp, Greatz, and Brainard families from Wisconsin and South Dakota, and my grandmother on my mother's side is from Renburg in Minnesota. You can find more information about my ancestry on the ancestry website.

A family prevalent in the 1920's. Primary occupations being farmers and, seamstresses.

My roots can be traced back to William Bradford from the Mayflower and Edgerton-side, and I have legal documents to prove it. I also share distant ancestry with celebrities such as Clint Eastwood, the Baldwin Brothers, and Sally Field.

I was born in Canada, not the United States, as my mother gave birth while visiting my father. She was under the care of a Ukrainian doctor in St Eustache at 3am.

My mother, Rosalie Griepp, was born in Shawno, Wisconsin. In the 70s and 80s, she lived in Staten Island with the Italian community from Sicily, which greatly influenced my upbringing and cultural background later on. I have a decent understanding of New York City life, having grown up in inner-city projects in rough neighborhoods.


My father, a kind, generous wit of humor whom all the community lightened up having around. Worked as a fire worker in the forests, and a tree surgeon. He once lost a whole tractor on the ice in a major lake in Quebec. He fell from a tree and it ruined his career having fallen on his back from a high distance. As a ladies' man, "He lived a life of pain, and booze, but held onto parts of his faith from his childhood."

Growing up, my two closest siblings were of Italian descent, hailing from Syracuse and Messina.
My brother's father was a talented mechanic and drag racer, while my sister's father was a part of the famous Manhattan Project and was reportedly close with some notorious families in New York City. I would like to clarify that I have no involvement or association with these negative histories.


I grew up primarily in New York and had a strong connection to farming from a young age. My family owned land in upstate New York and operated farms in Shazee and Plattsburg. On my German side, the Graetz family were large farm owners, and I would often visit them in Shawona. Living with my German family taught me valuable farming skills and instilled a strong work ethic rooted in the values of the 1920's depression. At 8 years old, I was already hard at work on our family's land, growing crops like pecans, grapefruit, squash, eggplant, and orange trees. This experience left me with calloused hands and a lifelong love for farming.

 



Hobbies

Dirt-biking, "hiking in Colorado on every trail," Camping, survival, shelters. I was an accurate outdoorsmen with a 22.
I don't do that skill anymore. I enjoy stunts, extreme sports: I am always active and don't like to stay idle for long.
I worked on sport-planes, and loved aviation growing up, and always wanted to fly the skies in a P51. WW2 studies were an obsession, as well as the writings of ancient philosophers growing up. Sun Tzu, Tom Clancy, The Revolutionary War, and Roman history were favs. I thought Greek mythology was at one point real past-times, and usually read it as I would literary works of Poe, and others.

 

 

'Child-hood'. SNAP SHOT: TESTIMONY

I was born a cripple; I was born physically handicapped with defects. I had a crooked left foot that never really strengthened entirely. I always twisted it at basketball, sports or otherwise. It never stopped me. I am healthy and fit today.

I was homeschooled, but at the same time, my education suffered having been taken from my father at 8 years old, and never had the level of input or care I could have received. Counseling revealed later those were the times many of my health issues surfaced: detachment, and false identities to cope with the pain was a norm in my development. Until I wised up that I was sheltering in false constructs to define my belonging or purpose in life could be healed before God. I have overcome the suspended growth hung in the balance of hard-nosed resolve to treat suffering as an ally. To appear larger than I really am, by being better at dealing with pain. Then by elevating the more docile parts of my shyness with the temperance of intelligence and creativity. I tried to even out by ascetic exercise with poles and bricks and walk across high walls with nothing on either side. I learned from Karate masters' routines getting countless books at the library, and had times aspiring to Steven Segal's technique having been astounded by these moves. 

A child-like phase with a desire of conquering tall ships on seas filled with monsters. Pirates and sea exploration solidified by interest with the perils of sea diving, and ocean tales. Coupled my interest of mythology, eschatology, Nimrod and Babylonian studies, I had some wild focuses generate my world view as a teenager, with minor occult writings and interests. I once read about NATO, and the alliances I saw in my books. I once told my mother, "these matters with NATO will be the most important studies we will see in the future." This was in 2002.

My self-driven interest to self-educate fashioned my perspective with the annals of history, the constitutional formations under George Washington, The trade and inventions of ancient China with gunpowder; University focuses of Heidelberg, and Oxford, geolocations, space travel, to the wide-ranging history of Christopher Columbus and his relations of financial support to potentially help Jerusalem reclaim its sovereign land. I saw a glimpse of biblical prospects as I saw Israel as a center-stage in the world for the most monumental changes, events and political tides in history. This led me to study old testament, which at the time, I was opposed to biblical teachings. My view of a broken child-hood cemented my observation of natural separation must lead me in a spiritual exercise to re-establish the 'connecting' of relevance as 'an effort to undue time lost', or 'rather find a way to spiritually manifest' in my talents, practice, intellect, or a physically dominating role of power in the fatherly absence of my youth. Another 'idea' became my father; another 'name' became my religion for the sake of redefining what my life should be.

Another church or book about religion was sacrilege and it never hit me as hard when I would reflect on the passages, "When my mother and father forsake me, the Lord will bear me up." When it had just been a common practice to invent the wheel of child-hood with, 'out of the norm' experiences only I had access to, and everyone else was generally missing the mark."

My ascetic world-view was being challenged by a single Biblical passage in time, that answered the real cry of true existence, and power; and the ever present darkness that lived to feed on such power in my life in my current state of being.


I picked up reading Greek and Hebrew concordances. Trying to find hidden meaning. Ascribing certain values to scripture in a novice-like manner to experience finding relevance to my perspective. I spent years this way. Going down a rabbit hole. When the reality didn't fit my approaches of other spiritual experiences, it was inclined to rip, toss and curse these truths, even though I knew many of them had hit close to home, but I didn't know why. Maybe the knowledge I thought I had was already suffice, to add more of another kind would damage that world-view, evaporating the life I created in my poems, historical narrative built on ancient sea creatures, gave me the stimulus to living in this self-made dream one day will pay off with the right formula or door.

(The hidden meaning I contrived in reply uncovered what Ide later realize I would have to cast off as false identities, and vain imaginations the enemy put there to keep me in a delusion.)

Churches became a constant source of friction; yet a heightened state of curiosity inspired me to line up my foundation with the logic and values presented with public speaking of men who talked about a spiritual life on ideas differing than my life's dark goals. One night, I stumbled on the book of Jude. And the parts about the Spirit of God in the Last days where men are separating from truth to go after there own desires starting ringing true in something in my mind. I felt something come over me, and I jumped to the floor from my bed with my face down.

I felt as though someone was saying very clearly,
"I want to make you a light in the end times, but the things you are holding onto cannot be part of Me- you choose them, or Me, but you can't have both. You will perish in the lake of fire if you separate from Me."

               I felt a sense of fear, but then rest, and hope. The endless journey of my own dream, pain and suffering in my body and soul from a child-hood of neglect, intellectual emptiness, and dreams of my assertions making an impression on the spirit of the world ended that day. The official commitment to Christ to live for Him, to uphold His testimony in the end-times, to handle His word with power, with integrity, and its expression in the Church became a dominate focus for me. It became my only drive. It's truth became my focus for life.

This new fire of God's Spirit now calling me to separate, break ties with the unknown world of pain and delusion has now brought me to a shelter in the Presence of God from all fear. Repentance has brought me before God's throne without shame of my father, or the brokenness of my mother, and yet, the power of putting to rest all ideas of my childhood only creating a monster of the sea in my own tale of doom. In 2004, these tales died with Christ. I was baptized in a church. Relationships unhealed, alienation and a turbulent undertow bringing me down as soon as I thought I was rising with my best kept secrets in my journals were now God's mission to place those in His hands. To use the loss, sense of abandonment to fuel my desire to minister to the heart of God, even if no one ever listened or followed the cry I felt that day, restore itself as a new man, in my regeneration through Christ's redemption.

My eventual decision to become a Christian was not quick reception by others. I was initially doubted, and my conversion disputed at first. I felt the the sense of needing to prove my love for the Word of God as it was being challenged. In the year I turned 18, I saw an promotion for new students at a bible college. My literary joys, english writing and creative journaling is all I have to offer this new chapter. It was served well.

With very little formal education with peers or teachers, I completed 3 years of college, with no entry requirements or additional review factoring my admission letters, I scored well, had an exceptional memory and trained heart to retain my studies. Was respected as a true brother. I was retained to become staff serving in multiple capacities.

Great testimonies happened time after time in my ministry. During my summers, I would pray and the thunderstorms would cease. Striking thing about this, once I finished working, microbursts would rip entire trees out of the ground in the area. It was even on the news. God honored my prayer. Those beginnings started my understanding of real implications of prayer outside of church. During an internship, I was appointed by God to minister to an entire apartment floor in one night by happenstance. I've witnessed prayer causing miracles of finances, and correcting compromised leaderships without my involvement. In some towns, my presence exposed the ties of the occult and false worship, causing whole townships to seek for ways to ask me to leave. My work brought reproach to darkness in these church towns where people were untrained and Sunday schools were led by witches .

Foundations of buildings cracked like the 'altar of Dagon before the ark of the covenant-' a story found in the bible, in one institution I rebuked before God misusing christian values as fraudulent to win people over by new age. 

I have been aided By God's Spirit to avoid many disasters, perils, vicious people, attacks on my life from gun wielding men, traps of women in covens; temptations to leave ministry for other things, always financially honest and honoring the Presence of God as I navigated the maturing process as a youth while never being perfect or adequate or accepted by all in my manner or speaking abilities, but I was always respected as a 'true brother'. My Finding of CDCS RESEARCH is a growing arm of my "light in the last days," to not just keep solid teaching, or presentation of truth, but the Bible says, "with power." He will confirm the preaching of Gospel truth with a witness of His presence with great miracles confirming the inspiration of God's complete Word.
To bring men under its transforming influence where it is received with true faith and repentance from darkness.

I quickly grew out of entry-level beginner mistakes as an infant christian where you put down zeal, and drive, and it turns into more compassion, humility and stretching into service toward others on a practical level. I learned while maintaining a rest in presentation handling provoking truths hard to entreat, but with seasoning, softness and a greater vision in our anointing, we can apply that Word with a heart of compassion to meet the root issue without driving people away with a false impression of the Word, spiritual pride and making ministry about 'my projections, biases or wounded perspective.' I did not come out of a legalist background, I had no background except spiritual confusion, and a mind often an expression of ignorance. "I eventually concluded New Covenant was the foundation of Biblical Revelation as God's final work and gift to humanity: so the nature, spirit, and manner must also be in agreement with a standard of righteousness it produced which cannot be of the law, but of Himself."

To segway into a new topic. I myself have, at one time dressed in Air Force fatigues, been interviewed and brought on air-bases for some honing my skills under the guidance of a mentor. My career went vocational and we parted ways.

I have a diverse background. My family has a strong connection to intelligence and finance, with members working for organizations such as the CIA, the state department, and OPEC. My aunt was even involved in managing finances for Tommy Hilfiger (she drove one of his Ferraris with him.) and major banks. I have several cousins who have held significant positions, including a district prosecutor for the largest legal branch in the U.S. Although I have lost touch with some family members, I am proud of their accomplishments growing up.


I was loosely mentored by counter-intelligence personnel which shaped my disciplines and focuses. I also had a passion for small plane fabrication, 'work shop hobbies', and was fortunate enough to work on this hobby with the Air Force Colonel who was in motion to becoming a two-star General at the time, and is now honored as an instructor and hero at the Smithsonian Institute.

Aside from my interest in aviation, I have a love for survival tactics and the great outdoors. While I'm not much into spy novels or espionage, I do enjoy reading Tom Clancy books and watching related films. European cars are also a favorite of mine, and I have fond memories of watching Sean Connery as James Bond as a child.

 

With a background steeped in the fight against human trafficking and drugs, I have strong ties to law enforcement within our family. I have advocated in some circumstances myself helping prevent these crimes. My family has participated in sting operations aimed at capturing major players. While I exercise caution when it comes to sharing personal information, I am committed to providing the most accurate information possible when I can.

Throughout my life, I have had the good fortune of being mentored by strong leaders. My aim is to stay ahead of the curve, outmaneuver potential threats, and offer help and humility to those in need.  I have a managerial background and have held professional positions always aiming high in returns, recommendation and index score. I also run this ministry support program, offering beginner academic courses and training to others on this platform without charge. I impart my experience to my wife in her career ventures and encourage her to be the best. She is an exceptional quiet force to be reckoned with. As i've learned personally, I example to her how to navigate treachery of a world in conflict and to always be one step ahead of competition, but also to be a ghost when an enemy is destroying themselves, but to always offer humility if people ask for help.

I visit churches to see how each of them are doing and provide prayer or financial support when I can.

We sponsor a child with Compassion International. Our love for widows and orphans is embraced here.


I'm a computer geek and have built many rigs.

Italy has a spot in my heart as I grew up admiring the Godfather movies; the actors in those films as a history piece. Morality and actions considered.  I would have been a stuntman, or an actor mainly. I wanted to be an actor one time. I was told I carry myself like one from people I met in San Diego at a conference. I love comedy antics, writing and theatre. I can do a few impressions, and frequently use my public outings as inspiration for comedy material to make light of situations and people nuances I find are good sources of humor that I conjecture into ad-lib situations my wife tells me are witty and intelligent. 

My wife always says that she's sees me always advancing in IQ, but more than that, she has seen the profound way of teaching I use life lessons to our daughter. She sees the breakthroughs in her daughter after we pray together, and wishes she had the same growing up. My wife considers me her "first pastor," and this is due to the counsel, transformation, and discernment I've gained from my walk with God. It's a deep understanding that remains simple.

                         Having corporate prosecutors and paralegals in my family, its had a profound impact on my view of the world.
I run a tight ship of guarding our behavior and choices in the public eye to reflect our love of Christ in my family.

As an avid fan of criminal forensics shows and court cases, I have a realized understanding of the inner workings of criminal minds and their motivations. From profiling to evidence and serial cases, I have followed the world stage with interest, analyzing the perps, controllers, and ideals of criminality from a scientific viewpoint. "No crime is ever unpunished, and you can't hide anything from DNA, Mitochondria, tissue and hair, finger print and or bodily amino residue, AI facial recognition, Bio-dna reactors, infrared, luminescent tech makes it impossible to hide from God our natural deeds people do in the name of passion and pride.

God put law and order on the earth and it serves those who want to enjoy a safe journey. I view the idea in biblical perspective because all grievances family share have a unique cry of justice in the heart of God to make things right, reconcile and forgive as best as possible- New Covenant redemption means surpassing our human intellect and notions, and err on the side of mercy even toward the undeserving. Also, some interventions can't be avoided just because we want to be kind with our offenders in our lives, or people who trigger our flesh response to our own unhealed brokenness where we want to lash out. But We must lean upon God's strength, and be renewed in a more stable structure of biblical transformation- and not to get trapped in the weeds being super-spiritual in spiritual warfare with conflict, ascribing all pain to an invisible force, but to see all events as a test of resolve to Honor God before we act rash on any subject."  My knowledge and experience in criminal forensics has given me a unique perspective on the underlying causes of criminal behavior. I know the impact of desperation, the preservation of reputation, greed, and jealousy on a person's choices and behavior. And, I am able to recognize the influence of one's home life on their expression and demeanor, even without ever meeting them.

Overall, my passion for criminal forensics and understanding of human behavior allows me to bring a unique and valuable perspective to any situation or discussion.


Growing up as a victim to some traumatic events, I have a personal understanding of the importance of boundaries, accountability, and integrity in interpersonal relationships. I keep a watchful eye on these principles in my own family, always striving to maintain dignity and well-being in all private matters. Includes tight securities of internet, cell phones and interacting with female counter-parts along the way. We have processes in place to keep our ministry life as humanly possible in agreement with our private lives.

My spiritual, professional approach, perspective and values I live in everyday.

"Creating stability; dealing with rejection; self-destructive tendencies, negative speech, arguments, victimology, inadequacy, fear, emotional habits, broken home life; spirit of control, emotional defenses, are areas I generally adapt into my coursework so people see the teachings of New Covenant not as a list of things you are doing wrong, but your inability to do the right thing. The impossibility of your flesh's dependency on our own works preventing us from a genuine walk of righteousness, unless God works in you to honor Christ with that rightness. Christianity is a structure of wholeness of what God calls right on a promise-based personal relationship of faith. With His completeness in the condition of the heart to adjust our perspective from a victim, a servile slave of corrupt desires, a broken individual defined by unhealthy patterns of resolve built on our negative experiences.

Through a work of grace, we are empowered to embrace a methodology of His image, conforming to His working of power in our flesh nature to give place for God to produce Christ through regenerative repentance. Bringing us into a rest of faith to receive through His drawing, and sovereignty ending the unbelief over our striving to change things in our life. God does it so you learn what His heart is over our own desires so we learn to give Him our battles through dependency on His Spirit. Our agreement, and trust, "not built on your promise to be better", is central to rising above wrong expectations, unfruitfulness, inconsistency, draining influences, incorrect responses, and keeping our eyes off our own selves in hardness of unbelief, onto Christ's glory and perfection. God provides healing on places God holds most precious in His Covenant with Christ In a gentle, patient atmosphere. Considering all of the places Christ accomplished to give us new life in these places that would separate us from God with no hope in ourselves, and before the Laws of God that tells us we have no eternal power or life apart from Him."
