In 1985, I was saved at five years old during a Bible class in West Virginia.  I grew up attending Second Baptist Church, where I was called to preach at 16 years of age. 

  A year after earning a Biblical Studies bachelor's degree in pastoral theology and a Master of Ministry degree at Crown College, God called me in 2004 to serve as a youth pastor at the Second Baptist Church in Festus, MO. I gained valuable experience there through involvement in diverse ministries, and in 2008 God led me to assume the Associate Pastor's position at Hillcrest Baptist Church in El Paso, TX.

  Ministering to the military families of Fort Bliss prepared me for the work I would be called to in 2015, when God led me to pastor the wonderful folks of NorthSide Baptist Church near Fort Hood, TX.

  My wife Andrea and I are thankful for the blessings of the Lord. We are raising our four children to follow God's will and are blessed by our caring church family that helps our family to grow together in the Lord.
