My wife Mary and I have been married for 48 years. We have 2 boys and 3 granddaughters. Our call from God to enter into the ministry as a Pastor, came in 1983. After accepting that call I began a four year course of studies through the Church of the Nazarene associated with Bethany Bible College in Colorado Springs, CO. During that process of studies, I led the youth department in our local church, while Mary led the children’s department. We also assisted a Pastor friend in his church by helping to preach on Sundays. We continued working in that church until 1987, where God opened up the opportunity to be a Sr. Pastor in The Church of the Nazarene. We Pastored 4 churches during our 17 years in the denominational church. We entered into the role of an Associate Pastor here at Living Water Community Church in Nov. of 2004. While Mary continues to lead the children’s department.
