My life began in Colorado growing up as the oldest of 4 children in a Pastors home.  The Lord convicted my heart of my need for Him in my life at age 6 and my father graciously introduced me to Him during his 4th of 7 full time ministries.  To be chosen by God to also be a Servant of God has been a huge privilege in my life after  serving 48 years in a total of 7 churches, 2 of which were church plants. This has provided a diversity of ministry experiences. The joy of my life is to bring glory and honor to my Savior. It’s a blessing to be serving with the New Hope Elder Team. My wife Kay and I have been married 55 years, raised 3 wonderful children who are also raising 3 children of their own (9 grandchildren).
