About My Family

I am a military veteran (USAF) and a retired police officer who is now fulfilling my dream of serving full time in ministry in eastern Canada. I am not married and do not have any children, but I do have plenty of church family to keep me company.

I love reading and traveling, especially to areas I have never before seen. I am from Biloxi, Miss., and have previously lived in North Dakota, Germany, Italy, Washington, D.C., and St John’s, Newfoundland. I enjoy discussing theology and church growth strategies designed for specific communities. Sharing the gospel message of Jesus Christ is my passion.

About My Church Plant

After retiring, I entered ministry full time and moved to St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada to work for as a pastoral intern for a local church planting ministry called Mile One Mission (Calvary Baptist Church in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland). After nearly three years with the Mile One Mission team I moved to Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador in January 2024. I am blessed to serve in ministry in such a beautiful part of the world.

Eastern Canada has been a bit overlooked in evangelical circles in recent decades, and the need is great here, so when I felt called to come here I was more than eager to go. God willing, I will spend the rest of my life serving in ministry to the glory of God.

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.

Pray

Pray all the staff at Mile One Mission that we obtain more local church partnerships and financial support. Pray for the Holy Spirit to move through this community to open hearts and minds to respond positively to the gospel. Pray for Northern Cross Community Church for God to use us to continue building His Kingdom.
