About:

Born in Charleston, SC. I grew up there most of my childhood, except for 3 years in Gainesville, Tx. Served in the USAF for 10 years. I served in UK, Nebraska, Middle East, Panama and a few other exotic places. After leaving the military in 1995, my wife and I moved to the Charlottesville, Va. area (Palmyra) where I owned and operated a Domino's Pizza Franchise. in 2005, I left the business world to enter in the ministry. I pastored a small rural church for several years and then we moved to Roanoke, Va. I currently serve as the Minister to Adults 60+ at Bonsack Baptist Church and teach for Leland here in Roanoke. I have been blessed to serve our Lord in mission trips, pastoring, teaching and just sharing the Gospel. When I first realized that God was calling me into a new mission, I attended several classes at the Charlottesville campus. I have been blessed to now have the opportunity to help others explore their call and learn about the sacred text God has given us. I am married to Kathy Williams who is currently a Social Worker in Bedford County. We raised 4 wonderful daughters who forever changed my life. We have 4 grandchildren who now control our entire life!
