Cathy and I met each other while ministering among developmentally-disabled adults in Kalamazoo, Michigan. We were married eight months later and have served in public ministry together ever since. Starting as volunteer workers in Youth Ministry and Sunday School,

God rewarded our faithfulness by opening a new door to serve in an inner-city ministry called Praise Baptist Church. We lived at the church's Outreach site called Alpha and Omega Ministries. We invested 4.5 years among hundreds of individuals there.

We moved from Michigan to California with our four children in 1993. I attended Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary from 93-96 and earned a Masters of Divinity Degree (while serving as pastor of Snyder Lane Baptist Church in Rohnert Park, California).

From 1996-2006, I was the pastor of First Baptist Church of Galt, California. We enjoyed significant fruit of long-term ministry during our ten years of service. Prompted and moved by the Spirit of the Lord, we began our ministry at Bell Road Baptist Church in January, 2007.

We continue to look forward to a vibrant ministry as we proceed into our fourth year of service from Auburn to the ends of the earth. Cathy and I are both musicians, support creativity of all sorts, and really enjoy a good laugh. Both of us were once kids, so we have a strong belief that church should be a fun place for children of all ages.
