I was born in Dallas, Texas, and graduated from R.L. Turner High School in Carrollton, Texas, where I met my wife, Kathy. We have been married 41 years. We have two sons, Jonathan, who is married to Amanda. He teaches fourth grade at an elementary school in Fort Worth. Our other son Michael attends college at UNT in Denton. We enjoy camping in the mountains of Colorado, as well hunting, fishing, and gardening. As I begin my journey with God’s people at Era FBC, please know that my passion is to joyfully lead and feed God’s people to grow in Grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus through the preaching and teaching of His inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word. In this way, we are enabled to live as healthy and reproducing disciples who love the Lord Jesus, walking daily by the power of the Spirit, evangelizing all people everywhere by sharing of the glorious, good news of salvation freely offered by grace, through faith, in Christ alone, all to the glory of God!
