I grew up approximately 30 miles west of Philadelphia. My childhood was somewhat typical of the baby-boomer generation where my father was working and traveling for work while my mother was at home taking care of the household along with my two older brothers and myself.  My day consisted of school, a few chores, and playing most sports. I enjoyed playing basketball and golf in high school and college.  When I figured that my 6 foot frame was not going to cut it in basketball, golf became my main focus. After college, I actually turned professional but that soon turned into a recreational hobby as well, considering my total money winnings was less than $100.

After my twenties and early thirties in Florida enjoying the sun and golf, as well as working in the insurance industry, I decided to settle down. Transitioning to the optical industry, my wife and I grew an eyecare business as well as a family of five children. After 24 years of marriage, I divorced in 2017 and was born again in 2018. You will have to read my book for added history on how my personal experiences led me to Christ. It had been a few years of trials and hardship that enabled me to humble myself to God’s will and allow me to trust in His plan. In looking back, the difficulty was not in the trials, but in admitting that I was not in control.

The purpose of my book is to bring people, no matter where they are in life, to a closer relationship with God and to give them the assurance that their final destination for eternity is in heaven. We like to avoid the topic of what our life after will look like, but I feel this is something too important to ignore or procrastinate about. It is FOREVER. ETERNITY. THE REST OF TIME.

My ministry and mission is to help others sow, know and grow their faith.  I want to help Christians with their relationship to God and the assurance that they will be with Him for eternity.  I want to show them how a world of distractions is creating a life of spiritual apathy and how a life that brings you closer to Christ will bring about a more fulfilling and joyful life for them and their families.
