Board Treasurer

I was born in Alaska and raised in an agricultural community in Arizona. I attended Northern Arizona University (NAU) in lovely Flagstaff and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Air Force in May of 1985.  I served as a finance officer for seven years and separated after my deployment to Desert Storm. When leaving the Air Force, I became a Financial Advisor and after 26 years I’m still serving my clients and the Body of Christ as a Financial Advisor. During my transition from the Air Force, Jesus captured my heart and I’ve been walking with Him since that faithful night in 1991. Following my call, I completed graduate studies at Liberty Theological Seminary in May of 2016 and was ordained at my local church as an elder/pastor. Today, I serve as an Executive Pastor at Impact Church of NOVA. I am married to Lisa, and we have five adult children. We enjoy the beach the lake and anytime we are together. Lisa plays the guitar for the praise band and is a dedicated disciple, wife, and mother. I enjoy most outdoor activities to include motorcycle riding, snow/water skiing, hunting, hiking and camping. Finally, me and my family are passionate about following Jesus and sharing the hope that resides in us!
