Bible Teacher With 30+ Years of Experience Teaching and Preaching Gods Word.
I am a God fearing, Bible believing follower of Christ. Husband, father, teacher, preacher, soldier. After proudly serving my country for over 40 years, I now begin a new journey where I will once again serve as a soldier, but this time dedicated to serving Jesus Christ and sharing the Gospel with as many people as possible.

I recently retired after 40 years of Federal service to our nation (21 years Active Duty / 19 years Government Civilian) and am ready to follow my call. I am a member of Beulah Hill Baptist Church in West End, NC. I am a God fearing and Bible believing patriot who loves this country that I have defended for many decades.
God has given me the gift of speaking and teaching His Word and I am seeking opportunities to use this gift. I have a great deal of experience teaching the Bible and have been positively received everywhere I speak.
I preach and teach the Bible and Jesus; there will be no flowery sermons about being the “best you that you can be”. I tackle tough subjects and am not afraid to talk about sin and hell. I fully adhere to “Baptist Faith and Message 2000”.
I can fill your pulpit when you need assistance, I can teach classes, give patriotic / leadership lectures, and I can conduct revivals and mission conferences.
Currently I am serving Eastern and Central NC but look to expand at some point as God opens doors. I do this freely with no expectation of being paid.
Introduction:
I enlisted in the US Army in 1984. In 1990 while serving as a Ranger instructor at Ft Benning Georgia, I met another Ranger who told me about Jesus and presented the Gospel to me in a clear manner. I surrender my life to Him that day and I have served in small Baptist churches for the last 35 years.
I surrendered to preach in 1995 and began working on a degree in Pastoral Studies while continuing my military career. God led me to Acorn Ridge Baptist Church in Robbins, NC. where I had the wonderful opportunity to be trained under and mentored by Dr. John Williamson.
In December of 2005 I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Studies from Cornerstone Baptist Bible Institute. I started my studies while assigned at FT Polk, LA, and continued at Ft Bragg, NC until completion.
I retired from Active Duty in 2006 where I had served as a Ranger, Infantryman, Instructor, Paratrooper. I finished my career as a Master Sergeant (E8) assigned to a Special Operations Unit on Ft. Bragg. Upon my retirement from the military, I settled into the area north of Ft Bragg where I live.
I have been blessed with many opportunities to teach and preach Gods word. I have preached in Baptist churches, Spanish speaking churches through a translator, Prisons, Nursing homes, and traveled twice to Rwanda Africa to train local Pastors.
I am blessed to be married to a wonderful, Godly, Christian woman named Kellie. We have 3 children as well as 4 grandchildren.
