                     Rule 13a-14(a)/15d-14(a) Certifications


I, John F. Van Engelen, certify, that:

1.   I have  reviewed  this  quarterly  report on Form 10-QSB of First  American
     Capital Corporation;


2.   Based on my knowledge,  this  quarterly  report does not contain any untrue
     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact  necessary to
     make the statements  made, in light of the  circumstances  under which such
     statements  were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
     this quarterly report;


3.   Based on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial
     information  included  in this  quarterly  report,  fairly  present  in all
     material respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and cash
     flows of the small business issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in
     this quarterly report;


4.   The  small  business  issuer's  other  certifying   officer(s)  and  I  are
     responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  disclosure  controls  and
     procedures  (as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and
     internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
     13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the small business issuer and have:

     a.   Designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or caused such
          disclosure   controls  and   procedures  to  be  designed   under  our
          supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the small
          business  issuer,  including its  consolidated  subsidiaries,  is made
          known to us by others within those entities,  particularly  during the
          period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;

     b.   Designed such internal  control over  financial  reporting,  or caused
          such internal  control over  financial  reporting to be designed under
          our  supervision,   to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the
          reliability  of financial  reporting and the  preparation of financial
          statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
          accounting principles;

     c.   Evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuer's  disclosure
          controls and  procedures  and presented in this  quarterly  report our
          conclusions  about the  effectiveness  of the disclosure  controls and
          procedures,  as of the end of the  period  covered  by this  quarterly
          report based on such evaluation; and

     d.   Disclosed in this  quarterly  report any change in the small  business
          issuer's  internal  control over  financial  reporting  that  occurred
          during the small  business  issuer's most recent  fiscal  quarter (the
          small business issuer's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual
          report)  that has  materially  affected,  or is  reasonably  likely to
          materially  affect,  the small business issuer's internal control over
          financial reporting; and


5.   The  small  business  issuer's  other  certifying  officer(s)  and  I  have
     disclosed,  based on our most recent  evaluation  of internal  control over
     financial reporting,  to the small business issuer's auditors and the audit
     committee of the small  business  issuer's  board of directors  (or persons
     performing the equivalent functions):

     a.   All significant  deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
          operation  of internal  control  over  financial  reporting  which are
          reasonably  likely to  adversely  affect the small  business  issuer's
          ability   to  record,   process,   summarize   and  report   financial
          information; and

     b.   Any fraud, whether or not material,  that involves management or other
          employees who have a significant  role in the small business  issuer's
          internal control over financial reporting.
