Activities:

Forever the "kid at heart", I enjoy the outdoors. I have been known to frequent the local parks, taking advantage of the disc golf circuits. I enjoy fishing the state's many waterways, rivers, and lakes. I also enjoy fishing those of Arkansas. Of course, no one can live in Louisiana without being an avid L.S.U. and Saint's fan. Being originally from Albany, New York, the Buffalo Bills run a close second. Thus, watching NFL Football is of utmost importance.

Interests:

Church history and American history have been a major interest of mine since childhood. I am also interested in the art of Drama. I have culitvated this talent since his teen years.

Passions:

I am passionate about allowing God to use him to minister to others. It is amazing to me to watch how the Lord works in lives and brings about wonderous results through friendships, work relationships, or being a good neighbor. I consider the opportunity to minister to children one of the highest callings to answer. I consider it a privilege to share God's love with kids.

Ministry Bio:

During an Arkansas District Youth Camp service, I felt the Lord place a call upon his life for ministry. I attended Jimmy Swaggart Bible College and later, graduated from Central Bible College holding a degree in Pastoral Ministry. I have served in past positions as Associate Pastor, Youth Pastor, College-Career Leader, and Sunday School teacher. I am currently serving as Children's Pastor at Bethel Temple. I am also director for the Fishers of Men National Tournament Trail, South Louisiana division.

Family Bio:

I was born in Albany, NY and am number five of six children. At the age of 12, the family relocated to Mountain Home, Arkansas. While attending Jimmy Swaggart Bible College, I met my future wife who is as georgious as she is gracious and Baton Rouge native, Jill. They married June 15, 1991. I graduated from Central Bible College, May 1993. We welcomed their first child, Wright in Oct. 1996, a second child, Claire in December 2000, and third child, Sydney in September 2004. We are committed to each other, our families, our children, and our call to ministry.
