Ministry:
I completed my BA from Central Bible College in 2.5 years. The last semester of CBC, I was pasturing a church in Union, MO (2.5 years). I went on to pastor a church in Ironton, MO for 2.5 years. I moved back to Springfield and began working with the homeless at Victory Mission in Springfield as well as prison work in Ozark Correctional Center and Federal Medical Center in Springfield, MO. While working in a local boat manufacturing facility, the Lord opened up a door for me to be a chaplain, at both Victory Mission and Ozark Correctional Center, where I am currently employed.
My duties at both facilities are to encourage and direct the residents at Victory Mission and the inmates at Ozark Correctional Center to a deeper and more filling lifestyle that is centered on the spiritual aspect of the individual.
