I want to spend the rest of my days doing work that has an eternal impact, to the glory of God and for the good of others.

My passion is to equip Christian men, so they can become strong spiritual leaders at home (as husbands and fathers) and effective witnesses for Him in the marketplace.

I believe that this can be achieved with in-depth knowledge and application of God’s Word. And I love studying, applying, and teaching the Bible.

I love the focus and purpose of Abiding Fathers which is reaching out to men by not only encouraging them to be great fathers but also providing them with the tools necessary to accomplish this task. This is the greatest need in our churches and in our communities.

I am grateful to have the opportunity to contribute to this most important effort by joining forces with Abiding Fathers.
