Prior to making Oakdale my church home, I was a fire department chaplain in Havre de Grace, MD.

It is my desire to serve Christ and to fulfill God’s purpose in my life. I have a deep passion for telling others about life in Christ and what He came to do. I want people to know how much I care for those in my sphere of influence.

I married Terri in March of 2010 and we have been ministering together since. I have two sets of children. The first set born to me as a young man, and the second were adopted when I was in my 50s. I now have ten grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

Through Oakdale Church, I have been the campus pastor at Ciel Senior Living (formerly Brookdale Assisted Living) since the summer of 2013.  I have also been leading worship services and bible studies at other local assisted living facilities such as JK House of Grace , Arbor Place and various others around the community.
