attended Bible college where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Theology. Since that time, he has faithfully served in Florida as an assistant pastor. He was very involved in all the ministries of the church there. (music, youth, bus, soulwinning, etc.)

He has been married to his wife Sharon for 33 years. They have 2 sons – Jason and Brian.
