For over 40 years he has ministered with love, kindness and care in the Church of God as pastor, State Youth Director, director of Boys Ranch, campus pastor of Northwest Bible College, served on a National Advisory Committee at Love Canal, N.Y., prayer warrior, and had a passion for visiting with the sick and those who might need encouragement.He is a member of Lake Hills Church of God and was a retired counselor with Camelot.
