I began full time ministry at LBAC in 2010 after working for over 30 years as a carpenter. The previous years of working a full time job and doing ministry at the same time were fruitful for teaching me the realities of following Jesus. These gospel lessons have shown me the power of God’s great love, they have also convinced me of his deep desire to be in relationship with every one of us! 

My wife Dawn and I have been married for a little over 40 years and have raised our three children here in Long Beach. God has lavished great grace upon us, and he continues to challenge and change me while promising to never abandon me! Considering who Jesus is, that’s a fantastic promise!
