Even though I am a ‘second career’ minister with a background in emergency services, I have been proudly serving this Church since 2016. My wife of 25+ years and I hail from Illinois (near the St. Louis Metro area), but have spent time in Kansas as well. During football season, you will hear us screaming for the Chiefs! Teaching, preaching, enjoying great fellowship and men’s ministries, are my passions here at FBC-G. Along with being a ‘Trekkie,’ I also enjoy movies, reading and Xbox!

It's incredible to witness the transformation and growth within the individuals I serve.
