a bit about me...

In Matthew 7:16a we read, “by their fruit, you will recognize them…” For those who have met me personally, I would suggest that God’s word be used as a measure of who I am.
For those I have not had the pleasure to meet, here’s a bit about me… Husband, father, grandfather, and pastor. Lover of Christ and student of His Word. One who loves prayer and meditation as pure means of communication with God.
Called to the ministry of His Word after spending 17 years in corporate America, working as an Operations Manager for two of the giants of the communication industry. I have also taught at both the middle school and college levels. I served as a deacon and then an elder for over six years prior to ordination. Ministered as a servant in the capacities of associate pastor, pastor of counseling, and senior pastor for many years (all in the greater New York area) before heeding God’s call to South Carolina, where I served as an Executive/Discipleship Pastor for four and a half years.
I have been blessed academically, having completed a Bachelor of Arts in American History, a Master of Education in Technology, a Master of Ministry in Counseling, and a Doctorate in Practical Theology with a concentration in Biblical Counseling. I hold certification through the
International Association of Biblical Counselors.
God has been incredibly good to me…
