After practicing law in Lakeland, Florida and the Chicago area for 6 years I first pastored Loomis EFC, Loomis, NE, followed by pastorates in Clinton, IA (Clinton EFC) and Sheboygan, WI (Sheboygan EFC).
I was called to follow Glen as DS of the Gulf States District, which merged with the SED. I planted a church in Alabaster, AL for 3 years and also became DS of the KY/TN (East Central) district (October 2000).
After serving full time as the DS I also became the Associate Pastor at Shades Valley Community Church, Birmingham, AL (2002). I still serve there.
After leading the East Central District to expand and include the states of AL/MS/LA (becoming the Southeast Central District) it was a privilege to be a part of the merger of the Southeast Central District and the Southeastern District to become the current EFCA Southeast where I am now serving as Associate Superintendent.
