About Me

I was born and raised in south central Ohio in and around the small town of Greenfield, Ohio.  Coming out of a broken home, I gave my life to Jesus at the tender age of 12 and felt the call to become a minister at the age of 13.  During my teen years, I was studying and reading constantly preparing myself for a life of ministry.

I have served churches in Washington Court House, Ohio, Louisville, KY, Shawnee, OK, and Dyersburg, TN.  I have served in just about every position one can serve in a church ministry.  My calling is that of a teacher and pastor.

My desire is to be a light-bearer which is one that brings illumination & revelation, order & structure to that which is disorderly and chaotic.

I love to challenge people’s thinking.  I want people to be thinkers, to know what they believe and why they believe it. 

I believe that in the times we are living the Church (especially in America) is in desperate need of a reformation — one that will bring lasting change because we have become another undistinguishable sound in a very noisy world.

I am married to my beautiful wife, Amanda and together we have five children.
