First and foremost I am a born again Christian a sinner saved by Grace through Faith by the LORD Jesus Christ. God has redeemed me from a high school drop, called me to preach His gospel and provided the means and wisdom to earn a biblically sound education, furthermore He transformed a drunk into a disciple. I am thankful for the LORDS mercy and grace on my life and His willingness to use me. My family and I make our home in the Blue Ridge Mountains of rural western North Carolina, where we serve God as He needs where He needs. Sunday morning February 2, 2003 I publicly submitted to the Lord's call to preach and that evening preached my first sermon. Shortly thereafter I was licensed into the Ministry,  and on Sunday June 18, 2006 the congregation of Outreach Baptist Church called me to my first pastorate. Currently I serve as Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Marion, N.C. As a preacher and teacher of the gospel my hearts desire is to see folks saved, disciples made within the church, families strengthened, congregations revived and worship returned to God honoring and Christ centered while working to awaken America to her Christian heritage. While the Bible teaches that a preacher can not be created in a classroom, the Bible does teach the called man to prepare himself, the Lord has provided for me resources and opportunity to earn a Bachelors degree in Ministry, a Masters degree in Pastoral studies and the Doctorate of Theology all from an accredited, doctrinally sound Bible based seminary. I have tried to never stray from my humble beginnings retaining a biblically sound Old-Fashioned preaching style that communicates Gods word to a spiritually starving world.

After my Savior and my family I am an outdoorsman I respect and celebrate the heritage of the frontiersmen who have settled and worshipped in this land we call America. It is this courage and faith that God has honored by granting our freedom and the liberties we enjoy today. I love being in God's creation and pursuing the wildlife and reflecting on the heritage He has placed here for our substance and usefulness. Some of my most meaningful moment's with the LORD have come on a ridge line or on a creek bank. On my special sites  page there are a few places for the Christian outdoorsman and their family to visit. Drop by and let them know you appreciate their ministry.
