Hello

That's my family. Nadine and I grew up as childhood sweethearts in Brooklyn, New York, we've been married for 41years and have three amazing adult children; Tom, Lisa and her husband Forrest.


Inspired by Luke 4:18, I believe that God has called me to do three things. First to tell people good news, that the Father loves them lavishly and extravagantly. Second, to open blind spiritual eyes and finally, to set people free. I've walked with God for 41 years, the last 30 in pastoral ministry. I've served churches across the US including New York, West Virginia and Washington State. I spent some time overseeing a network of international churches while living in the Dallas Fort Worth area. Additionally, I've served as senior pastor of the Charlottetown Vineyard on Prince Edward Island, Canada.
