From the time I first began to appreciate the presence of God and the promise of grace, I have loved the church and wished to serve it. It has been a long and often complicated path to the pastorate, but one I treasure because of all that it has taught me.

To have the privilege of encouraging, spiritual growth, mission, and formation is the joy of my life. Diverse, gifted, aware individuals push me to offer the best I have, to come up with creative and innovative worship and programs that center on the work and person of Jesus Christ and to encourage a holistic response to the love and grace of God being poured out upon us.
A few facts about me:
  • Graduate, Rice University, 1971, with a degree in Anthropology.
  • Graduate, Dallas Theological Seminary, 1995, with a Master of Theology. Taught preaching, teaching and writing classes there and also directed their distance education program.
  • Graduate, Perkins School of Theology, 2004, with a Doctorate of Ministry.
  • Former Assistant Dean for Off-site Programming at North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago, Illinois, where I created the first accredited online/intensive Master’s level program for a mainline seminary in the United States.
  • Associate Pastor, Trinity United Methodist Church, Wichita Falls, TX, 2001-2003
  • Associate Pastor, Lovers Lane UMC, Dallas, TX, 2003-2006. At Lovers Lane, I directed the Single Adult Ministry, the Adult Christian Formation Ministry and the Website Ministries
Currently, I serve as Pastor at Krum United Methodist Church, just north of Denton, Tx.
