About My Family
My wife and I have been married for 26 years—we will celebrate 27 years in May—and have three children. My kids are all still living at home. My boys have both graduated high school and are working and making plans for doing college courses through distance-learning for now. My daughter is in high school and working part-time as well.
About My Church Plant
I have been in ministry since I was 19 and started working with a small youth group in Arkansas. We were called to move to the Dakotas in 2003. We lived in the Black Hills area in South Dakota and then moved to North Dakota in 2007.
I served as a pastor and also as a disaster relief chaplain while in Langdon, N.D., for seven and a half years and then moved to Minot, N.D., in 2015 to work with the Dakota Baptist Convention, which is where I have worked for the past six years. This year, God has opened a path for us to replant a church in the city of Minot.
My family and I are excited to see what God will do through us in this city and beyond. There have been a lot of changes in this past year, but God has been preparing us for a new season of ministry through it all.

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.
