Philippians 3:13-14 serves as my personal mission statement: “I seek to run with perseverance the race that has been marked out for me by God.”
I graduated from Ben Davis High School in 1988 and Johnson Bible College in 1992. In May, 2006 I received a Masters of Arts in pastoral leadership from Cincinnati Christian University. I have served as a youth minister twice and this is my third preaching ministry.

My favorite verse of scripture is 1 Corinthians 15:58 “Be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord” .
I accepted the Lord and was baptized on December 22, 1974 at Cumberland Christian Church. I have served as an Elder since 1976. My wife Ginny and I have been married for over 50 years We have two children, three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

For the first 35 years of my life I considered God and spiritual things only a myth. At the age of 35, after years of prayer and invitation to church by my sister, something happened. It felt like every sermon was being directed to me personally. I now understand that the Holy Spirit was convicting me.
Over the last 20 years I have had the opportunity to serve God and the church, leading, teaching and serving on the mission field all over the world. In every opportunity I have felt humbled that God would trust me to be part of His plans.
