I was born in Ohio and raised in Missouri.  At the age of 20 I received Christ as my Savior.  I was ordained in 1979 by the Maranatha Missionary Baptist Church at which time they called me to be their Pastor. I attended the seminary at Oklahoma Missionary Baptist Institute in the early 1980's.  I moved to California in 1990 and attended the Fresno Missionary Baptist Institute and Seminary where I graduated with a Doctorate of Theology.

   I have Pastored the Maranatha Missionary Baptist Church in Missouri; the Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in Madill, Oklahoma; the Shasta Missionary Baptist Church in Redding, California and I am currently Pastor here at the First Missionary Baptist Church of Manteca.

   I also have the honor of being an online Biblical Hebrew Instructor at the Western Missionary Baptist Institute and Seminary at Fresno, California.

   My wife, Shari, and I have great spiritual hopes for the growth and advancement of this wonderful Church in the Manteca community.
