Leadership Development Pastor
I began ministry at Calvary as Lead Pastor in 2001. On September 2023 I stepped away from the Lead role to focus on Leadership Development.
I am married to my first and only love, Lyn, since 1980, and together we have raised three children: Graydon and Sarah, Jordan and Jordan Clare, and Bronwyn. We have six grandchildren: Lukumay, Boanerges, Ruby Mae, Benaiah, Joshua and Lyla.
I love road trips, the outdoors, fishing, and photography as I can never get enough of God’s creation. I am an avid sports fan, particularly the Bruins and the Steelers, and enjoy playing every sport, especially if the score is kept. I especially love Italian food and a good burger. Calvary is healthy, vibrant, energetic, and caring. We take living under the rule and reign of Christ to the next level.
