What’s on your plate for dinner?
Probably something Pampered Chef. My wife is a consultant so just about everything we eat is a PC recipe...and yes its always good.
Talk about how your childhood has affected your life today.
My Grandmother took me to church every time the doors were open, giving me a love and a passion for Christ and His church. My best friend was killed in a car accident in high school. God has used this profoundly in my life to burden me for the lost and taught me never to miss an opportunity to show and share the love of Christ.
When did you make Jesus your Lord and Savior?
I prayed to receive Christ at the age of eight in Vacation Bible School. I found that day forgiveness, hope, peace, and love in Jesus that is unending.
Other than Jesus, who has been an influential person(s) in your life?
My wife has been a huge influence in my life. She is an incredible woman, godly wife and mother. I definitely married out of my league. My grandfather who taught me that a man is never stronger than when he is on his knees in prayer. My grandmother who took me to church every chance she had. My wife's grandfather who has been a constant source of encouragement and is one of the first people I call for advice and prayer. Jim Hoff who came alongside me as a friend and mentor as I was just beginning to preach.
Holiday Inn Express or Jellystone Campground?
Jellystone Campground...with my ENO hammock of course!
What Bible verse best describes you?

What’s your favorite movie? Why?
I have four kids. If its not a cartoon I haven't seen it in a LONG time. I really like “Horton Hears a Who,” “Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium,”
