Jesus said in the John 14, "I am the truth".  In the fall of 1994, I accepted the call to pastor New Hope Wesleyan Church.  It was clear then and is just as clear today that we must proclaim the truth of Christ and the Gospel.  Truth is ultimately justified by what it produces.  I'm honored to pastor such a loving congregation of people who have received the truth and with it have produced fruit.  Since 1994, We have witnessed the miracles of individual lives radically changed, marriages and families reconciled and health restored.

I am married to the love of my life, my best friend Wanda.  She is a constant encourager and always believes in what God can do.  Together we have raised 5 kids and have the reward of the best grandchildren in the world.

Excitedly married and in love with my wife and our three kids!   

Originally from Kansas, I was stationed at North Carolina in the Marine Corps where I found the treauser of my life, my wife Patricia.  We moved to Indiana for life after the service for employment.  It was here that I would travel from Larwill to Ft. Wayne for work and God began to draw me towards this church.  So much that I found a new route to work.  Not able to fight this drawing we attended and discovered our "New Beginning" with Jesus Christ.  Through the ministry of New Hope I began to explore the calling God had on my life since age 6.

New Hope opened their heart to us our family has never been the same.  We found our purpose and a place God has called us to serve.  I volunteered two years, was part time 2 years and have been full time since 2002.
