Profile

I am the Pastor of Parkwood Baptist Church in Gastonia, NC, where most every Sunday morning and Wednesday evening, I get the privilege of preaching the Word of God. Preaching and study have been a passion of mine for many years. I think that it is incredible that God’s people support me and my family so that I can dedicate my life to the proclamation of the Truth.

I am blessed to have been married to Celeste since 1989. Celeste is a full time mom, teacher, homemaker, gardener, and great cook. The Lord has blessed us with four children: Jacob, Anna, Mary Claire, and Andrew. There is never a dull moment at our home. The kids currently have a pot-bellied pig, 2 goats, and several goldfish.
