About My Family
I became a follower of Christ at the age of 27. I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Science Education and then continued to manage a business I owned.
I met and married my wife, Linda, who at that time was part of the staff at the Baptist Collegiate Ministry at the University of Oklahoma. After two years of marriage, we moved to East Asia to minister. We lived there 18 years and labored among the people. After returning home this last time, I finished my Master of Divinity degree and sensed the door to overseas ministry was closing to us, and so we decided to stay in the U.S. The Lord opened the door for us to work at the University of Oklahoma with the Baptist Collegiate Ministries this past year.
Linda and I have two children. Angela is 16, and Joshua is 14.

About My Ministry
I have taken a position at the Baptist Collegiate Ministries at the University of Oklahoma. After spending 18 years in East Asia, we were so grateful that the Lord opened up a place in the U.S. for us to minister to internationals. Many countries are restricting what laborers are allowed to do, but internationals are still coming to the U.S. My vision is to see many come to the Lord, help them grow in the grace of the Lord and then equip them with the vision, skill and heart to return home and share the good news. I also will be working with American students in reaching out to the international community. By modeling that here in the U.S., we can impact the world for the Lord. I will also play a part in students going on missions trips, both here and overseas.
