​

I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit during the 1970s, where the first seeds of faith were planted in my heart. I still remember climbing aboard the church bus each Sunday morning, heading off to Sunday school full of curiosity. Those early years laid a foundation, even though I would later drift away during my teenage years.

​

At 22, everything changed. I realized that while I had grown up around church, I had never truly repented or made Jesus Christ the Lord of my life. On April 24, 1983, I experienced what I now call my true spiritual awakening. Two weeks later—on Mother’s Day—I was baptized in a local river, surrounded by family and new brothers and sisters in Christ. That moment marked the beginning of my new life in faith.

​

Now, at 64, my walk with God is stronger than ever. Over the past 42 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving in a variety of ways—on local church boards, through theological study at the Birmingham Bible Institute, and in hands-on mission work. I've joined teams in places like Johannesburg, South Africa, and led groups to Quito, Ecuador, where we helped lay the foundation for a church addition. Whether across the globe or right at home, my passion is sharing the gospel and reaching the lost with the love of Christ.

​

More recently, God has opened a new door for ministry: writing. I never set out to become a writer, but the Lord placed it on my heart to use words as another way to encourage fellow believers and reach those still searching. Through writing, I’ve found a way to share truth, offer hope, and help others experience the transforming grace of Jesus.

​

When I reflect on my journey, I often say that my faith has been “a steady light through life’s storms.” It’s my anchor—and I long to share that light with others.

​

Outside of ministry, I’m a proud grandfather and a lover of history. I enjoy reading, learning, and spending time with those the Lord has placed in my life. People often say I have a quiet kind of wisdom, and I pray that through a listening ear or a timely word, I can be a source of encouragement and strength.

​

Wherever God leads next, I’m ready. Whether through conversation, missions, or the written page, my heart remains the same: to bring hope, truth, and the love of Christ to everyone I meet.
