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"

    "When it comes to planting seeds and reaping a harvest, we must always be sensitive to the Spirit of God within us, and the needs of those around us. God will always bring the two together at the right time. 
    It is the Spirit of God who prepares the soil through “conviction of the guilt of sin and judgment.” (John 16:8) He prepares the soil to receive the seeds that produce the fruit, which eventually become ripe unto harvest. So, if you make a comparison to gardening; if the soil is unprepared - there will be no harvest; if the seeds are planted at the wrong time - there will be no harvest; and, if we try to reap before the fruit is ripe - there will be no harvest.
    The point is that we need to be sensitive to God’s Spirit and God’s timing that “a way may be opened up” for us to reach our family, friends, and neighbors with the good news of the Gospel…and be ready and prepared to do it!"
