I was raised in a Baptist, Christian home in Midland, Texas and have attended and served in church all my life. I gave my life to Christ at age 9 and committed myself to Christian ministry at age 17. My original calling was to the ministry of music. Since then, God has continued to develop me as a leader. I have over 40 years of ministry experience. And although I have learned a lot, I have lots more to learn and grow. Because I was loved and received the free gift of salvation, I am 100% committed to growing the Kingdom of God through any means that He leads me. I have been married 33 years to Pilar. We have two boys, Nick (29) and Nate (25). I enjoy our two dogs, Toby and Tazzy, playing golf and reading leadership development books.
