I set off for my freshman year with a dream of opening my own sporting goods store. So I left home to attend LeTourneau University in Longview, TX to study Business Administration. But while there God revealed His dream for my life - to communicate the amazing life changing truth of the Bible to people - and He changed everything! Wow, from sporting goods to the ministry.

After graduating with a degree in Business I enrolled in the Alliance Theological Seminary in Nyack, NY and four years later received a Master of Divinity degree. Since then God has continued to reveal more of His dream for my life. He has led me to be involved in a variety of church ministries as a pastor of student ministries, church planter, preaching team pastor and now senior pastor of New Hope Christian Fellowship. While in seminary He revealed the love of my life, my wife, Chari.

Twenty two years later we live in Virginia Beach and have a teenage son in High School and a just-twenty year old daughter in College.

What motivates me everyday are the opportunities God gives me to encourage people to become constant friends and students of Jesus Christ and then to equip them to love Him with all their lives in order to change the world for His glory.

I appreciate your visit to our website and hope you sense our desire to live out the dream God has given us to equip people of excellence to change the world.

Let me invite you to take a minute and read my Blog, the Marketplace Ministers Memo (http://hope4today.wordpress.com). Be encouraged, there's no better friendship than friendship with Jesus Christ.
