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"

    "Something happened in this precious baptism of the Holy Spirit that turned the internal weakness of the early church into a powerful force!  It turned a pale profession of knowing Christ into a bold declaration of transformation and oneness. I believe there needs to be a reawakening to this outpouring of the Holy Spirit in God’s Church today!  I believe we need to ask for it, pray for it, and wait upon God until we get it! I’m not talking about a gift or a manifestation of the Spirit…I’m talking about a power in God’s church that changes and transforms lives!
    I’m talking about a power that can cleanse hearts and proclaim truth, and witness for Christ, and reflect his love, care, compassion and passion for the lost! I’m talking about a power that blows open the firedoors of God’s Church and fills the sails with a mighty rushing wind!!"
