What is your Education and Experience?

I have a BS in Sociology and received a Master of Divinity from Midwestern Baptist Seminary.  I served as pastor of First Baptist Church, Green City, MO and then as pastor of First Baptist Church Lexington, MO.  While pastoring, I also served through the local association and was part of a teaching team who worked to train and equip pastors in the area.  I first experienced small groups while attending Redeemer Fellowship and eventually led a group at that church.

What are your hobbies/interests outside of work?

I love really good coffee, reading about my latest passion (which usually rotates through counseling, church revitalization, and Biblical hermeneutics); meeting with friends over really good coffee; cooking meat over fire with cast iron, or better yet...in cast iron over fire.  I enjoy pursuing the white-tailed deer with my two oldest sons (better known as sitting together in a ground blind and scaring away everything within a five mile radius).  I also love spending time with my family going on new adventures together.
