About Me

My adult life has been filled with pastoral ministry in varied settings and roles. I’ve been an ordained minister in the Wesleyan Church since 1994 and have served as a youth pastor, worship leader, associate pastor, and solo pastor in churches ranging from 30 to over 1500. In preparation for my own pastoral ministry and to prepare others for ministry I have two graduate degrees from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary and am currently working on my doctorate at Emmanuel College in the University of Toronto focusing in homiletics. I’ve been blessed to study under some of the leading homileticians in the world and am passionate about preaching and equipping women and men to be faithful and effective preachers of the Word of God.

I’m blessed beyond measure to be husband to Sharie for over twenty years and Dad to Kate and CJ. Those three continually teach me more about God’s love and grace and help to sharpen me more into the image of Christ.

I love to read a good book, work with wood, hunt for deer, and grill with charcoal on my many Weber kettle grills.

About this blog

I’m as preacher and a teacher of preachers. But I’m also a person that enjoys an eclectic mix of things. This blog is a place to highlight my academic and ministerial interests, but also, some of the other stuff I enjoy. I hope I can also throw in a few things to help around your home too.
