I came to faith in Christ in 1986 under some poor teaching and weak man centered theology. But God would not leave me there as He would take me on a journey through many valleys and trials to reveal His grace and truth and steadfast love for me as I began to know the One who loved me and gave Himself for me. Psalms 23 ends with "surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life" and the picture is of God's goodness and mercy chasing down the psalmist. That is the story of my life, God's goodness and mercy chased me down.
It is because of HIs great love for me that I have the desire to be a vessel for His glory, a trophy of His grace. My life is not my own, I want to spend my time pouring out in service of my King as His servant.

My current salaried position is Sr Business Development Manager for Clearfreight. I also serve as founder and Executive Director for Unity Testifies, a ministry with the vision of uniting believers for gospel witness in the W. Houston/Katy/Richmond/Fulshear across denominational, political, racial and cultural lines for the glory of God and the advancement of His Kingdom.

My wife Sarah and I have one daughter, Triniti who also attends Crossings with us, and I have 6 adult kids, and 5 grandkids.
