About My Family
My wife, Linda, and I have been married for 40 years. We also have had the privilege of serving in ministry for 40 years also.
Together we enjoy the outdoors, such as walking, snowshoeing, gardening, hiking or sitting by the ocean. We have been blessed with three grown children and four wonderful grandchildren.
I have a Bible degree from Nyack College and a master’s degree from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. My goal is to use my ministry experience and education in training the next generation for gospel change, especially those called to serve in New England.

About My Church Plant
I have recently become an Urban Missionary at Grace Harbor Church in New Bedford, Massachusetts allowing me to serve, mentor and train the next generation of gospel ambassadors. Southern New England was the initial gateway to Christian freedom and spiritual renewal in our country but now this area is considered to be one of the most spiritually dry places in all of the United States. Sadly, 85% of those living in New Bedford live in poverty and this makes it virtually impossible for any church to support a Pastor or ministry team. More concerning is that less then 2% of the population here is Christian. Grace Harbor Church seeks to change the spiritual tide here in southern New England.
NAMB Church Planting
Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.
