I was born in Portland, Oregon, and I grew up in nearby Tigard.

I came to know the love and grace of Christ at a young age, and I knew from early on that God was calling me into some sort of full-time ministry.

I went to Bible College at Pacific Christian College in Fullerton, where I met Tiffany. After getting married and graduating, we moved to Johnson City, Tenn., for seminary at Emmanuel School of Religion, where I received my Master of Divinity. I began preaching while at the seminary, as a part-time pastor in a small rural church, and with graduation in 1995, moved into full-time ministry.

In May 2009, I graduated from The Master’s Seminary with a Doctorate of Ministry degree.

I have three wonderful daughters, Katie, Emily & Allie and one new granddaughter!

My two passions are preaching God’s wonderful Word and evangelism. I love the Lord with my whole heart, and I look forward to serving Him for many years to come at Faith Community Church.
