I am a husband, a father, and a grandfather, but most of all, I am a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. My wife, Teresa, and I have been married for 38+ years. I have been blessed to have been in church ministry since 1994, including pastoring, serving in ministry roles for LifeWay Christian Resources, and leading a team for the Illinois Baptist State Association. As of February 2023, I've been blessed to be a part of a new adventure as the Lead Pastor for Beacon Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. Exciting times ahead!
