I was born in Freeport, NY in march 1957 and was raised a Roman Catholic. I attended Holy Family Catholic elementary school and Holy Trinity Catholic High School. Being raised a Catholic, I received all the Roman Catholic religious rites. I heard the story of Jesus, but I never truly believed in him personally. I read my Bible in High School, but it was just a guidebook, I really did not believe it was the way God wanted me to live. Then in 1976 I moved to Florida and attended a Community College. There I met my future wife who took me to her Church where I realized that Jesus is truly Lord and that the Bible is the way God expects us to live. Since then I have attended Toccoa Falls Bible College and graduated with a B.A. in Biblical studies and minor in Pastoral ministry. It was there at Hollywood Baptist Church I was ordained to ministry in 1995. I then went to Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and received my M.div in May of 1999. I have served as a pastor and interim pastor, deacon, elder, and in children's ministry. I am presently serving as a Sunday School teacher at Union Chapel Baptist Church in Zebulon, NC. I enjoy encouraging people to live for the Lord and I enjoy teaching the Bible. It is my prayer that my book will encourage you to walk closely with our God and Savior Jesus Christ.
