About me

I was born and raised in Northern (Superior) Wisconsin about 80 miles from the Canadian border; and, yes it gets very cold there! At the young age of 32 I began to feel called into ministry. One night at a church dinner, my wife Judy and I sat at a table next to our district superintendent. In the course of our conversation, he said that he had a small church that needed someone to supply the pulpit until he could appoint a new pastor. My pastor suggested that maybe I could do that. I agreed, and two Sundays later, my wife and I drove to that small rural church. Little did we know that I would fill the pulpit in that church for thirteen years!

I have now been in the ministry for 35 years after also serving churches in Virginia and Maryland. I am currently retired...well, sort of. In my retirement, I am now serving as part-time Pastor of First Evangelical Covenant Church in Superior Wi. I began writing books about seven years ago, and still enjoy speaking and teaching when I can. My wife Judy passed away in 2021and I have since remarried to My wife Crystal.

I have a deep desire to help people grow in their faith and knowledge of God’s Word. My books are what I call a “Quest for Discipleship”. As I said, I am a published author and I have nineteen books which include my latest called "Tell Me, Show Me, Fill Me, Change Me"; "In It For Life"; “By His Hand”; “Show and Tell”; “The Promised Gift”; “Jars of Clay”; “The Kingdom of God”; “From the Pastor’s Desk”; “More From the Pastor’s Desk”; "T.E.A.M."; "Let Earth Receive Her King"; "Therefore" "Principles from Proverbs"; "God's Top ten"; "Prayer Changes Things", "5 R's of Revelation" and two "Renewed Faith" 90 day devotionals all by Life Ministries Publishing.

Daily book quote - from In It For Life;
Chapter 2 -part 3
"I am who God says I am..."
    "Ladies, you will never be, nor were you meant to be Raquel Welsh or Brittany Spears! You were formed to be YOU!  I am not nor was I ever meant to be Elvis or Billy Graham, God form-ed me to be ME!  So, when we come to grips with that wonderful fact, that I am who God says I am and made me to be, we can stop trying to be like everybody else!  We can stop trying to please everyone else. We can stop trying to remake ourselves into the image of what the world describes as perfection and realize that we are already perfect! Look in the mirror and say to yourself; “I’m perfect just the way I am, because God made me, and I am who God says I am!”
    "Listen, an accurate view of yourself comes from an understanding of God’s view of who you are. If your feelings of self-worth are based on how you see your-self, or how others see you, then you are hooked to the wrong star."
