About Me

My Desire — To become the man God created me to be, made in His image.
My Hope — To help others walk faithfully in the footsteps of Christ.
My Reality — I am utterly dependent on the mercy and grace of God every single day.

I’m incredibly blessed to share life with my wife, Elizabeth, who reflects God’s love daily in our home. Together, we’ve been given the joy of raising four beautiful children: Isaiah, Elijah, Rebecca, and Ezra.

My journey with Christ began early. I recognized my need for a Savior and gave my life to Jesus in 1980. From that moment, I sensed God’s call into ministry. For the past 29 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving in full-time ministry.

I am currently serving as Lead Pastor at Lighthouse Community Church in Nashville, Illinois. It is my deepest joy to serve God’s people and to see lives transformed by the power of His Word and presence.

If you’re looking for a simple yet powerful way to engage with Scripture as you pursue Christ, I highly recommend SOAP journaling. It’s a practical method for studying the Bible that helps you slow down, reflect, and apply God’s Word to your daily life.

I’ve created a journal—available on Amazon—that includes clear instructions on how to use the SOAP method, along with a sample entry to guide you. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to deepen your time in the Word, SOAP journaling is a great tool for anyone, at any stage.
