From Gahanna, OH

I was the Pastor and Founder of Faith Family Worshipcenter. I spent 20 yrs. in the Marine Corps and retired from the Marine Corps in 2005. I am a licensed Drug and Alcohol counselor. I have worked in the Drug and Alcohol Field since 2002. I currently work for the Columbus Department of Veteran affairs. I have been with my wife since 1986 and have been married since 1988. I have four daughters and four grandchildren. I wrestled for the All Marine Wrestling team and qualified for the Olympic Trials in 1988. As a Marine I am also a combat Veteran who spent 9 months in the Middle East during the Persian Gulf War attached to task force ripper. I have operated as assistant Pastor, Pastoral support, Head Steward in the AME church and youth ministry teacher prior to accepting the call as Pastor. I am friendly hard working and dedicated to the things and people I support. I believe that part of a persons success comes from taking a deep inner look at yourself. My objective is to help people to better their lives in whatever way God sees fit.
