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 "Show and Tell"

"I don’t know if kids still play follow the leader, but we played it a lot in my neighborhood growing up. An interesting thing is that everyone wanted to be the leader. The leader always looked good; the leader could do whatever they wanted; and everyone else had to follow, imitate, and stumble along, trying to keep up with the leader. In order to be a good follower, you had to keep your eyes on the leader. You had to keep up with the leader. If you lagged behind, you couldn’t see what the leader was doing.
    It seems to me that although we are grown up, the game hasn’t changed much. The rules are the same, but the stakes are much higher. All of life, the true quality of life, as well as the outcome of life, depend on whether or not we choose to be the leader of our own destiny, or we choose to follow someone much wiser and fit to lead. In the case of a Christian, that leader would be Christ, and we better keep our eyes on him and not lag behind, lest we not follow properly and miss his direction."
