I have been married to my bride Michele for 31 years as of 6/2024! We met at a Bible study I was leading for young adults at Clovis EV Free! God blessed us with 4 children- Nickolas, Makenna, Kelsey and Brookelynn. They are my James 1:17’s! I was born in Oceanside, CA on the Camp Pendleton Marine Corp Base. I have lived most of my life here in the central valley and now live in Clovis.

​

I have been in pastoral ministry for 30 years here in the central valley! I have had the privilege in serving several churches, and now look forward to being the Connections Pastor at First Street Church!  I am passionate about using my gifts of encouraging, shepherding and leadership.  I like coaching teams and watching them make an impact and difference in the life of the church. My main area of pastoral ministry has been in connecting/assimilation. I am also passionate about counseling, leading Bible studies and discipleship!

​

On my free time I love dating my wife, taking walks, watching local sports (the main 3- football, basketball and baseball!), vacations at the beach with family, going to breakfast and when I get the chance trying to break 100 on the golf course!
