Background
Information

I am an ordained minister in my 35th year of pastoral service. I currently serve the Divine Hope Church in Oakland, MD, an independent, non-denominational congregation.. I am married to Cathy (for 43 years) and have two sons, John (33) and Chris (29). Prior to entering ministry, I was in managment positions for Ohio Bell Telephone Company and Sears. I am a teaching and counseling pastor, having done over 25,000 hours of pastoral counseling. I am currently a part-time adjunct instructor at Garrett College teaching Effective Communication courses. Over the years I have witnessed first hand the impact that life traumas have on people, mostly negative. Instead of being fulfilled in life, life often seems incomplete and even helpless and/or hopeless. It is this issue that prompted me to co-author my first book. I am currently working on my Doctorate Degree in Pastoral Counseling through Andersonville Theological Seminary.

The first book I have authored (with another pastor friend of mine) is "M.E.S.H.: How to Have Mental, Emotional, Spiritual Health for Life" through Publish America. The book was released on July 3, 2006 though it is currently available through Publish America's Online Bookstore and online from Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com, Borders, Books-A-Million, Chapters (in Canada), and a number of international bookstores around the world.
I am currently writing a second book dealing with the personal discovery of one's personal passion, purpose or destiny which is expected to be submitted for publication later in 2012.
