I began Christian ministry in the early '80s while completing my education as a physician and beginning a medical practice. In 1998, I made a big career change and cut my medical practice to part-time (about 10 hours per week) so I could involve myself more in ministry.
If 25 years ago you'd told me I'd be involved in Christian ministry, I would have thought you were crazy! I was interested only in a medical career and everything that goes with it. Thanks to the efforts of one of my medical school classmates, I became a Christian in April of 1982. I began learning the Bible through Xenos' teaching ministry and my view on life priorities changed. God showed me that he had real purpose for me as I began to set selfish priorities aside in favor of serving him.
Laura and I were married in July of 1984. We have a son, and two daughters. Our family is a consistent source of satisfaction and challenge. Laura serves as a Home Group Consultant in the Xenos Adult Ministries Division, teaches a women's Bible study, and volunteers at Calumet Christian School. We both practice personal discipleship.I began serving on the Xenos board of elders in 1989. I'm now the pastor of our first Sunday Morning Central Teaching that meets in the Café. I still teach classes occasionally in our adult education program. I am so thankful God rescued me from my selfish world and has given me a life of true fulfillment.
