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 Pastor's Desk"

 The Pharisees had a Biblical Religion but they rejected the very one that their religion was centered around - Jesus!

Religion alone focuses on the things others can see and forgets that God can see everything about them.
Religion alone worries about what others may think and wants to be perfect.
Religion alone finds the loopholes in the regulations in order to avoid obeying them.
Religion alone honors heroes of the past but rejects God’s work in the present.
Religion alone prevents people from becoming genuine Christians!
Religion alone oriented people tend to look for faults in others, but spiritually relational people look to build one another up as they grow together in grace and knowledge of Jesus. True spirituality helps people realize that judgment is the sole responsibility of God. We are all sinners in need of grace and a life-transforming, destiny-changing experience with the living Savior!
