I was saved in 1973 and ordained into the gospel ministry in 1979. I have pastored four churches in the area. I thank God for saving me by His marvelous grace and for all the godly family members, pastors, and Christians He has placed in my life. Next to my relationship with Christ, my greatest joy in life is my wife Karen and my grown children Mark, Candace, and Cortney.

My career was in education, having taught history, government, economics, and English for 32 years. After retirement, I worked as a Hospice chaplain and a Walmart associate. It is a great honor for me to serve the wonderful people at Hainesville Baptist Church as interim pastor. May God bless each of you.
