For the past 5 years I have served as Worship Pastor for Eastern Hills. This is my second time to lead this great church. My first was back in the mid-1990’s while I was a full-time funeral director working for French Mortuary. At that time, I was the only “ministerial staff” working with the church. This was prior to Pastor Larry. My experience as a Music Minister goes back nearly 30 years.

Serving churches in Oklahoma, singing in a gospel quartet, or as a soloist with a symphony orchestra, a nightclub entertainer, a paid soloist in church choirs, or as a lead role in Broadway musicals, all were used to bring glory to my Lord. I was blessed 29 years ago to marry the joy of my life, Joy. We have one son, Adam, who is 20 years old. I have some "formal" music education from Phillips University in Oklahoma and, Jr. College in Washington State. Most of what I know is what God has given me. My heart's desire from childhood was to lead music in church.

One of my favorite scripture verses is Psalms 37:4: “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” God has always been so faithful to me, through near fatal car accidents, to times in my life when I felt there was no one who cared, God has brought me through. That is why of all the hymns we sing my favorite is, “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” because He Has Been so Faithful to me!
