ABOUT ME

Since the age of eleven I have known of God's calling on me to be a minister. I started so late because I ran from this, the last thing I wanted to be was a minister !! Since I finally surrendered to His calling on my life, it has become the single most wonderful and fulfilling thing in my life. An astounding calling to answer and a continually amazing thing that He would call me, to be a servant, to deliver the wonderful Gospel of Grace. I am so unworthy, yet cannot conceive of doing another thing with the life He has given me. I am a licensed and ordained Southern Baptist minister and attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. For the past ten years I have ministered in the areas of Teacher, Trainer, Praise and Worship, Counseling, and Youth Ministering to inner-city, disadvantaged, and underprivileged young people.

I have gone through the pain of a divorce and recently re-married a wonderful woman who truly helps to keep CHRIST as the center of my, and our, life.

I have two "natural" children from my previous marriage and gained two new wonderful children, actually young adults, in this new marriage.
