I was born and raised in Texas. A native of El Paso, my family moved to East Texas when I was 14. I have since lived in northeast Texas, on the Texas coast and have resided in the Heart of Texas (the Waco area) since 1996. I am a graduate of a Baptist seminary and Baylor School of Law. I have served as a pastor in Texas Baptist churches, and I am currently the pastor of Mosheim Baptist Church.
I have been blessed with a wonderful wife, Kim. We married in 1979, and we are the proud parents of three children–a daughter, a son and a second daughter, in that order. Though we have had dogs in the past, we are currently a pet-free household.
