Pam, and I have been leading Rock of Grace Family Ministries since 1992.  We have experienced many changes at Rock of Grace in the course of the past years, but one thing has remained constant: God is faithful.  We have found that to be true in our personal lives, as well.  We were called into full-time ministry in 1982.  In preparation, I attended Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida, graduating in the spring of 1985.  We began leading a church in ****n, Florida in July of that same year.  In the spring of 1992, we were called to Rock of Grace.  Rock of Grace is a rural church in northeast Ohio, whose influence reaches a community-at-large with the love of Jesus in very significant, tangible ways.  Mentoring men in becoming strong leaders of their families and in their church is a passion the Lord has called me to.  I am also a Police Chaplain, certified through the International Conference of Police Chaplains, which gives me the opportunity to work with the local police department, offering friendship, assistance and spiritual guidance to first-responders and their families in times of crisis.  I have completed accredited courses in the C.I.S.M. disciplines through the American Association of Christian Counselors.  This pursuit has helped equip me to offer trained, emergency response to those victimized by critical incidents.  It is an incredible privilege to offer the faith, hope and love of Jesus Christ to those suffering the storms of life.  On a much less serious note, I enjoy re-enacting great circuit preachers of the 1800's.  Give me a horse, the Word of God, an opportunity - and I am off!  Pam and I love serving the body of Christ together, sharing in both the joys and sorrows of God's people.  We have four married children, all of whom love the Lord and serve Him faithfully.  Our son, Jordan, is serving with us at Rock of Grace as our Worship and Associate Pastor.  Co-pastoring with him is an incredible blessing that we are deeply thankful for.  We are excited about the opportunities and challenges that each day brings, and we know that with God, the best days are straight ahead!
