This may sound strange, but I had a drug problem from a very early age…my mother and father always DRUG me to church.  I really am thankful to God for being raised in a “Christian home” and a very positive environment.  I had a great childhood with so many wonderful memories.

At the end of my senior year of high school I began to drift away from what I knew was right and the way I was raised, but still thinking I was a Christian.  At age 23, on the rooftop of my house I prayed that God would take control of my life…and He did.  A few years later I realized that on my rooftop was when I actually became a true follower of Christ.  Within the next year I surrendered my life to ministry and soon after that I met this beautiful country girl from Ninnekah, Oklahoma named Golda.  We got married, and the rest is history.

At the present time our son Denver is the worship leader at a church in Oklahoma City.  He is married to Heather and they have a son, Daxx, who is 1 1/2 yrs. old. Our daughter, Natalie is a 5th grade teacher in Oklahoma City. We could not be more proud of our kids!

I have been doing Uth Ministry for over 30 years, and FBC Woodward, where I have served for over 17 years, is my third church to serve full-time.

Most of my life and ministry I’ve never really done things the way everyone else has done them, because I have always felt such a freedom in my relationship with God to do things the way He wants me to do them.  I am still in love with what I do as a Youth Pastor, and that probably surprises a lot of people, including me at times.
I love to fish and do just about anything outdoors, but I get my greatest kicks from doing things with my family. My passion is my walk with God, and my motivation for ministry is wanting teenagers to experience the incredible love that God has for them individually.  I am a huge believer in FUN and there is always some of that sprinkled throughout all we do in the Youth Ministry here FBC.

I hope that you find the website helpful, and if I can do anything to help you, especially with your walk with God or being introduced to him, just shoot me an email and I’ll get back with you a.s.a.p.!
