I now pastor a small church in Western New York. It was not always that way.

Born in Indiana into a family with two sisters and caring parents, I found my interests in music and writing. By the time I went to university I was planning to be a psychologist and musician. I studied psychology before I entered university, preparing to be a psychologist. I also recorded songs at a studio in Detroit, Michigan. I gave music and Psychology my best efforts, recording two records and earning honors in Psychology but little did I know events in college would re-direct my life. 

While a student in college I was confronted with the teachings and person of Jesus by a music group from out West. It interested me so much I could not forget it. Later I was confronted again by an itinerant travelling evangelist who played the guitar and preached the Gospel. From those two experiences I became a convert to Jesus Christ.

After conversion I enrolled in seminary and had a charismatic experience. I graduated and became an ordained minister serving churches in USA and Canada. I then became a full time Prison Chaplain, retiring in 2015. At retirement I was offered a small church in Western New York where I presently serve as well as volunteer at two facilities providing ministry.

Mark 16:15 Ministries is a result of praying in an apartment in Lorain, Ohio many years ago and asking the Lord to make the New Testament Biblical verse Mark 16:15 a reality in my life. That prayer would be answered through the ministry, music and literature which is detailed in my first book.

Mark 16:15 Ministries is also the extension of a prayer I prayed in my apartment in Springfield Ohio in the 1970s when I asked God for the one thing I wanted in life: To help people find the will of God for their own lives. I have seen that prayer answered more and more as time goes on as God inspires and supernaturally tells me what to tell people when they need direction. 

It's not about me but about a living God and how He works today.

I am an ordained minister with Assemblies of God International Fellowship,San Diego CA.and two other fellowships.

My ministry has grown from street evangelism in Springfield, O. in the 1970's to serving men in Prison as a Chaplain to now reaching seekers internationally through literature and the internet. God has answered prayer to Go into All the World (Mark 16:15). 

My emphasis is bringing the word of God to all who will listen..

 I owe any success to the wonderful Lord Jesus and all the ministries that taught me over the years and led me to truth. 

Just some of them are...
