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 "The Promised Gift";

    “A disciple never stops wanting to learn. A disciple is always active and involved in the activities and ministries of the church. A disciple is always teaching and telling of “what he has seen and heard.” But, a disciple also is convinced of his faith; a disciple is empowered by the Holy Spirit; and a disciple experiences God daily in his life! 
    A disciple can’t help but tell all about what he has seen, and heard, and learned, in the hope that his friend and his neighbor and yes, even his family will come to know the assurance of heaven and the transforming power of Jesus Christ which saves them from the pits of Hell! “And you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” said Jesus. (Acts 1:8) “Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19)
    I wonder how long ago it was when we stopped making disciples?  How long ago, and for what reason did those who were once disciples, cease being disciples? And, when did we become content just being believers waiting for Jesus to come back?”
