About

I grew up in a non-Christian home. As a young man I was an atheist. I got heavily into drugs and alcohol throughout most of the 80’s. I had a good job, a great wife and two beautiful little boys. I was slowly starting to realize that I could lose it all due to my drug addictions, but we just couldn’t stop. About this time the Lord brought great conviction on me, and we started attending a small Baptist church. We were still using drugs, but one Sunday morning the conviction was just too great. We came home from service and fell on our knees weeping and praying Jesus would take away our drug addictions. To our amazement he did.  Overnight it was just gone! No fan fair, no moving experience, we didn’t even have to send money to some TV preacher. The desire to have drugs that had so enslaved us for so long was just gone. Biblical instruction started making more sense and we rejoiced in our Savior! That was some 30 plus years ago. 

My dear wife been married 40yrs. We have three grown children all of which have been redeemed by the grace of God. I was a men’s pastor of a small church for many years, my wife and I had a small ministry at a convalescence for years until Covid shut us down.  I have been privileged to preach this glorious gospel at colleges, street corners, sporting events, country fairs and churches.  I feel humble to be a part of SFOI to see souls saved the gospel of Christ. 

In my spare time I enjoy hunting, fishing, and motorcycles.
