School Story:

After graduation, I married Maggie Westbrook. I attended the University of Texas at Arlington until I was drafted into the U.S. Army. I was stationed in Fürth/Nuremberg Germany for two years. I was honorably discharged in 1972 and my family and I moved to Lewisville, Texas. I worked as an electrical lineman for 12 years at Texas New Mexico Power and Light. While attending Calvary Baptist Church I made a mission trip to Old Mexico and later surrendered to full-time ministry. I later surrendered to serve as a missionary. Maggie and I attended Arlington Baptist College. In 1979 we moved to Mexico and were the first Missiology and language students in a Seminary there. After graduating we moved to Cd. Jimenez, and later Cd. Obregon Sonora. We returned to the United States and I became the pastor of Green Acres Baptist Church in Stephenville. Two years later we returned to missionary work and in 1996 we joined the Landmark Baptist Church and I became the Director of Landmark Mission Projects. Then in 2008 I was called as the pastor of Landmark Baptist Church.
