God has led me on an incredible spiritual journey.  I was blessed with parents who had me in the Church Nursery from the start of my life.  I asked Jesus to come into my life and be my personal Savior when I was 9.  At age 16 God began to impress on my heart His call to serve Him in pastoral ministry.  My high school sweetheart, Judy, became my partner in ministry even then as we sang together and spoke at Church, Youth For Christ and the Mission where her father was Superintendent.

My formal training and equipping for ministry came at Baylor University, B.A. and Fuller Theological Seminary M. Div. & D. Min.  I have been privileged to pastor growing churches in Indianapolis, IN., Menlo Park, CA and now in Tulare, CA.  I have had specialized ministries serving as Chaplain to Indianapolis Fire Department, Atherton Police Department & currently, Tulare Police Department.

My hobbies are sports (participating and as a fan) and music (singing and playing the ukulele).  The new joy in my life is being a grandparent to the four greatest grandchildren in the world (no bias, of course).  Our three adult children and daughter-in-law are all actively serving the Lord.

I feel so blessed to be able to shepherd the flock God has given me and to share with them the rich treasures from God's Word that can make such a positive difference in our daily lives.  I would welcome the opportunity to share with you what God is doing here at Tulare First Baptist with the prayer that He might enrich and strengthen you through our ministry.
