I started my Basic EMT in the fall of 1987, I drove a school bus to and from school and went to EMT class at night,during my senior year in high school. In the fall of 1988, I attended a Discipleship Training School (DTS), at Pacific and Asia Christian University on the Big Island of Hawaii. PACU is now known as the University of the Nations. U of N is the university for Youth With A Mission (YWAM). My course of study was Discipleship and Cross Cultural Missions {To Know GOD and make Him Known}. After the lecture phase of the DTS, I completed a required Field Outreach with Jackie Pullenger Ministries in Hong Kong and main land China (the team I was on got in trouble for smuggling Bibles into main land China). I returned home after my DTS, to continue my medical training. I returned to school for my EMT-Intermediate 1989. Then, in the fall of 1990, I started class for EMT-Paramedic. Paramedic class went on until late fall 1991. Also in 1991, I became an ordained minister, with the Jameson Evangelistic Association. I finished my Paramedic in the spring of 1992.
I have been in ministry for over fifteen years, all the while maintaining a full-time job in EMS.
While in ministry, I have worked as an EMS Chaplain, missionary, college & career pastor,and, along with my wife, as singles' ministers and youth pastors.
I am a Board Certified (BCBT)and Licensed Belief Therapist (LBT) through the Therapon Institute.
In August 2006, I earned my second Masters degree. Masters in Biblical Counseling from Therapon University. I am currently working on my Ph.D. in Biblical Counseling and my ADN.
In 2003, my wife and I started SoulMedic Ministries, a multi-faceted ministry to reach out to men and women of Emergency Medical Services (EMS), with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.The goal is to bring Chaplains into a working role in Emergency Medical Services, and, to provide those in EMS with Bible study tools, relevant to Emergency Medical Service Providers.
