    On September 24, 1984, my parents led me to the Lord Jesus Christ in their bedroom in Sioux Falls, SD. I was almost seven years-old. I was baptized a short time after that and then later while at church camp I surrender to the ministry. Since that time I knew that I wanted to be in ministry serving the Lord.

    With the help of my parents, I chose to attended Bible college in Pensacola, Florida and graduated from Bible college in 2000. In 2002, I graduated from seminary with my Masters in Bible Exposition.

    After seminary, the Lord led my wife and I to become the assistant and youth pastor at Center Road Baptist Church in Buffalo, NY. I have ministered at CRBC for 5 years now and God has truly blessed my family and me at CRBC.

    I also worked in a small church in Danville, VA as an interim pastor before coming to my current position as an college enrollment advisor. Now, I am working with hundreds of college bound high schoolers helping them thru the admissions process. As always, I stand amazed by God’s plan for my family. As I work at the college here, I am also taking the time to work on getting my doctorate degree. I believe it is important to be as prepared as one can be for the ministry.

    Where will I be next? God knows all my future and I can trust in Him, knowing that He has my best in mind.
