I was raised on a farm in Michigan, with two brothers, by two awesome parents who taught me all the necessities of life and gave me just enough rope to hang myself every once in a while.  This made for great life lessons.  In 1982 I joined the Navy and served 24 years onboard 4 different submarines and 3 shore commands.  I retired in 2006 as a Master Chief.  I met the love of my life, Jody, on a blind date and we were married in 1986.

We raised 3 great kids and now have 4 grandsons.  After my retirement from the Navy, I worked in the pharmaceutical/biotech industry for 7 years before I was called to ministry.  In December 2012 while I was looking for a church that could answer the questions about the call on my life, Jody and I found Revelation Church in CT.

I matured there as a follower of Jesus and started my Pastoral training.  I served on staff there for over 6 years as Executive Pastor and as a Campus Pastor.  I have a heart for the lost and a desire to share Jesus with everyone.  I love developing leaders and seeing followers of Christ fulfill the call God has placed in each of us.  I was called here to Saratoga Springs to do just that.
