I've lived most of my life in Omaha, graduated from Benson High, and found Christ as my Savior in my 20's. As a new believer, I wanted to study God's Word and help others understand the Bible for themselves. I trained for ministry, first at Grace University (then Grace College of the Bible), and next at Dallas Theological Seminary, graduating from there in 1986.

Beside pastoring four churches, I've been a chaplain at the Open Door Mission, and a hospice chaplain. But it's serving the local church that excites me most; having the amazing privilege of caring for and serving the whole family, from children to seniors, and helping them to know God's Word and amazing grace for them.

God has blessed me with a great partner in life and ministry, my wife of 37 years, Deb, and together we've raised 3 children (now adults), and are enjoying our 3 grandsons.
