About My Family
We live in Gresham, Ore., near Portland but even nearer to Clackamas County where most of our ministry takes place. We moved our family to the Portland area in 2002 from Dallas/Ft. Worth to help start new churches in the Northwest to be closer to family members in this area, and because we were already in love with the area where our family had vacationed so many times before. We brought three children with us, all of whom are grown now. We have three grandchildren. My work career has been in the Information Technology (IT) field for most of my life. It helps pays the bills so I can do ministry.
About My Ministry
I am blessed to serve one of the largest fire districts in Oregon, a 911 center, a search and rescue team and Southern Baptist Disaster Relief. God has opened doors to serve not only first responders but also others in wildfires, active shooter incidents, mudslides and more. My picture here is in Oso, Wash., where 43 lives were taken. God also leads me in helping agencies plan for disasters, both man-made and natural. I seek to reflect my Savior well as I seek to improve my communities and share His love.
Church planting and chaplaincy work well together. I enjoy God's work in this highly unchurched region. I’ve assisted in planting four new churches and serve on the church plant committee of the executive board for the Northwest Baptist Convention and formerly served as a moderator for the Interstate Baptist Association.
