I've been involved in full-time ministry since 1986 as a youth minister, worship minister, teaching pastor, and lead pastor in Ohio, Indiana, Colorado, and Georgia. Since 2006, I've has been the Lead Pastor at Cumberland Community Church in Smyrna, Georgia. With great skill, I took took the declining Cumberland church from 200 down to about 175 in record time, and almost closed the church's doors. My top three gifts are teaching, leadership, and evangelism. I've recorded several worship and music albums which, my daughters desperately want no one to hear! I've authored the book, “It’s A God-Thing… Miracle In A Cornfield.” (which currently sits at 5,305,469 on the Amazon.com best sellers list --- retail price: a steal at $134.16). My latest book, "I Quit Christianity To Follow Jesus" was released in March of 2014. My passion and priority is my family. I met his bride, Sherry, at Cincinnati Christian University and we were married in 1987. We have four kids: Brooklynn, Lauren, Morgan, & Michael.

Taught. Survived.

Led, rebuilt, envisioned, and taught.
