I have been a pastor in the Florida Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church for 33 years. I worked as a Corrections Deputy for the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office for 3.5 years before answering the call to serve as a pastor in the Florida Conference. I am a graduate of Florida State University (BS General Communications-’98). I have been married to my wife Billie for 37 years. We have four children—Jay; Aaron; Caleb & his wife, Whittney; and Katie & her husband Jesse. We also have three grandchildren, Hunter 9, CJ 3, and Olivia 2. I love to preach, teach and lead others to better understand that they are fully known and fully loved by God. I also love movies and reading a good book.
