About

I became a follower of Jesus Christ in August of 1973. Since then, my life has never been the same.

Soon after my commitment to Christ (which was totally because He had already committed to me through His death, burial, and resurrection from the dead), the Lord called me into ministry. I didn’t know what that meant at first, but eventually it became apparent to me that He was calling me to be a pastor-teacher.

It is in that capacity that I have served Him for the past 35 1/2  years … not perfectly, but hopefully authentically. I thank Him for His amazing grace.

Currently, I serve as a support pastor of Calvary Chapel of Santa Cruz, and also within a ministry we started in 2007 called Poimen Ministries (www.poimenministries.com). At the end of May in 2009, I finished up a seven month interim role with St. Helena Community Church, in St. Helena, CA just above Napa.
