I spent half my life in a reckless persuit of self satisfaction. Having experienced the redemptive and miraculous power of Jesus Christ, I now persue the One who persued me. There has been a forging in me from the Refiner's fire that can only come from the heat of battle.  Now with a passion to see other men victorious in this life, I fervently strive to be an encourager and equipper of the saints.  I currently serve as associate pastor of Restoration House Family Worship Center in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. I am married to my wonderful bride, Deona, and have two daughters and two sons, all of whom I love dearly.
