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.

    God’s Word is not some mysterious book that only preachers can under-stand. It is God revealing himself to us in order that we may know and understand Him and respond in faith. It begins with believing God is who He says He is! And that He can do what He says He will do! Then we have to make adjustments in our lives in order to work with Him and have a relationship that comes from our experiences with Him. Noah could not continue life as usual and build the ark at the same time…he had to make some adjustments…Abraham could not stay in Ur or Haran and father a nation…he had to make some adjustments. God is forever revealing himself or His purpose to those who will listen, believe, and respond in faith.
    Our relationship with God must go beyond just knowing a few things about Him. It must go beyond just knowing all the good stories in the Bible. It needs to be much deeper than a Sunday morning acquaintance. We need to be at the level of seeing, hearing, feeling, and responding to God, whether through His Word; through His Holy Spirit; or through people, or circumstances. When we reach that level we can say with confidence that we “know” God.
    “Let him who boasts boast of this; that he understands and knows me” says the Lord God Almighty.”
