My ministry credentials come first of all from God. He is the one who called and filled me with the desire to serve him. I have served as a Lay Pastor in some settings then became a Licensed Local Pastor in the United Methodist Church. I am not only a Pastor but also a carpenter. I have worked construction along with serving churches for many years. 

As a youngster I attended the Dover First United Methodist Church. I am thankful for the gospel seeds that were sown into my life which came to fruition at the age of 21.

Beth is a Clerical Specialist for Kent State College. (Tuscarawas County Branch) She put her trust in the Lord while still in grade school. Growing up near Sugarcreek, Beth attended the United Church of Christ. In our spare time Beth and I like to sit around our fire pit and solve the world’s problems, go for rides in our 1970 Chevy pickup, spend time with the family and travel.
