In the providence of God, I was born into a strong Christian home in Frederick, MD. Shortly after I was born, my Dad felt called of God to the mission field. After several years of college preparation, we traveled halfway around the world to serve as missionaries in Papua New Guinea. It was while I was in this foreign land that I was saved at the age of nine after a Sunday evening service. At the age of 16 I felt God's call to preach. After graduating from Frederick Christian Academy in 1985, I attended Bob Jones University and graduated in 1989 with a B.A. degree in Christian Missions. I continued my studies with an M.A. degree in Bible in 1991. A week after graduation I married the love of my life Christine Gerard. We returned to Greenville, SC, where I served as a part-time youth pastor in Spartanburg, SC. I finally finished my seminary education, graduating with a M. Div. degree in 1994. That summer my wife and I returned to our home church Peoples' Baptist in Frederick Maryland. There I taught in the high school at FCA and served as the assistant pastor at Peoples' Baptist Church. During my six years of ministry there, the Lord blessed us with three children, Andrew, Abigail, and Tabitha. It was also at Peoples' Baptist Church that I was ordained to the Gospel ministry in 1998. On November 1, 2000, I began my pastorate at Calvary Baptist Church. The people have been a wonderful blessing to my family and me.
