I was born in New Orleans and grew up in San Antonio, Texas where I spent most of my childhood years. I guess that explains my love for spicy food and football. I am married to Anne and we have two children, Matthew and Faith. We have 4 wonderful grandchildren, Leighton, Caitlynn, Kamryn, and Chloe. 

I love barbeque of all kinds and spending time smoking good meats! I enjoy reading and doing some writing. I have been at Peace since 2014 and in ministry for over 35 years.
