I was truly blessed by God to be raised by Christian parents. As a young boy at a revival service, I heard the gospel of Jesus Christ preached and knew that I needed Jesus to be my Lord and Savior. That night, with my dad by my side I accepted Jesus as my savior.

In 1979, while on active duty with the U. S. Air Force, God moved me and my family to Ashland, Kentucky. It was there that we experienced God openly working in our entire family's life.  He led us to a church where the gospel was preached and the Bible was taught faithfully. God placed in me a hunger for the Word of God, and a desire to learn as much as I could. It was there that my wife Ellen, and my daughters Gena and Allison were all saved.  Since then, God has blessed me with two, godly son-in-laws and four, wonderful grandchildren. I thank God that my wife, daughters, and their families continue to serve Him.

It was also in Ashland that I was ordained as a deacon. While serving in the Air Force, God moved us to other locations. I had the blessing of serving at three other churches in various and fulfilling roles.  It has become clear to me that God placed me in those roles to prepare me to serve as an elder/pastor at Corydon Baptist Church. 

Currently, God is leading me to establish and lead a vibrant mercy ministry at Corydon Baptist Church.  It is our goal that, through this ministry, God will use us to show His mercy and love to our community.  I invite you come to Corydon Baptist Church and join us as we submit to, spread, and savor the reign of King Jesus.

My little sister led me to Christ outside of my college apartment. It was just a week before graduation and my wedding date. I had grown up with lots of religious training, but I did not want to submit to Jesus’ authority over me. As a new husband with a new engineering career, I began learning the joy of following Jesus.

Then, in November 1998, I sensed God calling me to ministry. I studied at Southern Seminary and served as an elder at Immanuel Baptist Church in Louisville before coming to serve at a local church in Corydon, Indiana in January 2005. I serve as the preaching pastor and teach math part-time.

I wasted a lot of my life trying to be happy apart from God. Now, I have a passion for helping other people find true freedom and joy in the last place most of us look—under the reign of King Jesus. This is why I absolutely love helping people study, trust, and apply His word in real life. I really want to see individuals, families, and whole congregations living as authentic disciples of Jesus Christ.

I believe that my first ministry is to my family, and I thank God for my number one encourager, my wife, and for our children.
