Shortly after dedicating my life to Christ in 1999, I began serving Community United Methodist Church the area of Children and Family Ministries. In 2008 I became a minister in the Methodist Church and was appointed to Community as the associate pastor. I spent many years there serving children and youth, teaching adult Sunday School, doing outreach and mission programs and directing the praise band. The road to Magnolia Park UMC has been long and unpredictable.

During this time my wife Nancy and I raised our two children, who are now in college.
