Hey, thanks for coming and taking a look at our website.   I hope to get to meet you at F.B.C. sometime soon.  

In short, my story is this; I grew up, graduated from high school and College in Little Rock, AR.  I fell in love with music at a very early age, and began playing music not to long there after.  Over time, I have also always loved being outside, and riding a board of just about any type. As a sixteen year old, I gave my life to the Lord, and told him to do whatever he wanted to with me.  He continued to develop the musical gifts he gave me, and eventually gave me a heart for working in the local church; He also gave me a great love for the western United States and in 1996 opened the doors to work in a church in Tempe, AZ.  After going to seminary in Ft. Worth TX, and working for a time in student ministry in the Cincinnati area, My wife Kathy have found a true niche and home in Fellowship Bible, and in Tucson.  We’ve been here since 2005, and can’t see ourselves leaving for a very long time

Kathy grew up in Chandler AZ, and graduated from Arizona State (much to the dismay of most people at F.B.C. Tucson).  We have 3 kids, Bethany 7, Peter 6, and our new arrival, Anna, who was born on August 10th, 2008.  

In my spare time, I’m hanging out with my family, hiking on one of the awesome trails we have here in Tucson, at the skate park, carving it up old school surf style, or playing music.  

God is doing incredible things in our church.  If you are looking for something real, and impacting, and more importantly, something that will affect the people around you, come check us out.
