I love my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I cannot think of anything better to say than that, but if you want to know more about me, read on. I grew up in New York, Virginia, and Wyoming. I have lived in Oklahoma and Georgia as well. As a young child, I invited Jesus to be my Lord, and I received a call to ministry when I was fifteen. Currently, my family & I are living in the Watauga/Mid-Cities area where I serve as the Children’s Minister at Woodland Heights Baptist Church (since October 7, 2007). I am currently in pursuit of a degree at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (obviously- technically I’m a junior in the college, and I intend to pursue at least an M.Div.). I served in ministry for six years prior to moving to Fort Worth. Four of those years, I worked as a youth pastor and associate pastor at Hope Baptist Church (a mission in Afton, WY). Following that experience, I moved to Tulsa to begin completion of my formal education. I volunteered in many ways and served as the Outreach Director and Pastoral Intern at Woodland Acres Baptist Church. After completing an Associates Degree at Tulsa Community College (TCC), I transferred to SWBTS. I married on August 11th, 2001 my lovely wife, Dorothy, and we have one daughter, Alyssa (4), and one on the way (sometime in June)! I have a passion for the Lord and people. I long for people to know Jesus as their Lord and to grow in their relationship with Him. Working with kids is a wonderful opportunity for me to play with those on my own level, teach them at an early age about that relationship with Jesus, and it provides a doorway to encouraging parents as well.
