Born January 28, 1953, in the small town of Avenal located in the central valley of California. My family moved to southern California in 1958 and I grew up in Orange County California.

I received Jesus Christ in 1976. I reached out to Him in a hospital chapel asking him to spare the life of my girlfriend who was in the emergency room at the edge of death from an attempted suicide. Jesus mercifully saved her life and I gladly gave Him mine. I made my public confession of faith at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. My life Bible verses are Psalm 116:1-2 “I love The Lord, because He has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. Because He inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call on Him as long as I live.”

I married my lovely wife Gracie in 1990 and our son Levi was born in 1993. My favorite things to do are spending time with my wonderful family and our dear church family here in Columbia, TN. Although I am too old to ride much anymore, I still love horses and the ranch life and the great outdoors. I also really enjoy playing music with dear friends and sitting in with our church worship teams, as well as playing worship for the children’s ministry.
