My wife and I have made Fellowship Bible Church our home since October of 2000. Erin and I joined Fellowship as a young married couple, and we have now raised and launched all three of our children from this church family. We have led and been involved in LIFE groups for many years, spent significant time serving in youth ministry, we have both been in numerous discipleship relationships within the church, and I have served on the elder board since 2014. It is not an exaggeration to say that we do not know where we would be in our spiritual walk apart from the staff and members of this church, but we would be much less mature than we are now.
I still marvel on a regular basis that God chose to save me and put me in a leadership role within His church. I did not grow up in a Christian home, and I attended church once in my life prior to coming to Baylor University as a freshman. But once I was exposed to the gospel, to His word, and to friends that could answer questions and walk me through scripture, I eventually placed my faith and trust in Christ. I deeply value the verse-by-verse teaching that we practice at Fellowship, and I benefit from the life-to-life relationships that we have enjoyed over the years. I have also grown much and been sharpened through the various teaching and communicating opportunities I have been given through time.
I have spent greater than 30 years working as a financial advisor, Certified Financial Planning professional, and member of Kingdom Advisors – helping people steward the time, talent, treasure, tribe, and truth that God has entrusted to them. My wife and I are recent grandparents, opening a whole new chapter of blessings and experiences.
I love spending time out in creation – whether it is working on our land or hiking the back country at Big Bend National Park. I’m an avid Baylor fan and also enjoy exercise – having completed sprint triathlons, a half marathon, and shorter races as well.
I value trying to number my days aright (Psalm 90:12), and working wholeheartedly to lay up treasure as a firm foundation for the coming age, in order to take hold of life that is truly life (1 Timothy 6:19). We serve an amazing, all-powerful God who works all things for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
