My desire is to help you live a the life that God has purposed for you. I have over 20 years of experience working with youth and adults in a wide variety of situations. As a Youth Pastor since 1991, I have worked not just with adolescents, but also with their families. I enjoy encouraging and building up others through counseling, small groups and teaching. I am actively involved in Youth Ministry, men's ministry, mission work and a variety of other congregational ministries. I believe the Church is God's plan for our wholeness and health.
My entire career has been focused on helping others discover their identity, make wise choices and grow in their relationships with God. I have consciously decided not to work through the state licensing process which puts some restrictions on Christian Counseling, but rather to work through the church. I fully abide by the ethical standards recognized by the state including confidentiality as defined by the law. For this reason, I do not accept any form of insurance and I keep my rates low.
I am currently employed by Christ the King Moravian Church in Durham, NC on their pastoral staff. I have been married for 20 years to my wonderful wife. We have two teenage young adults in our home, a son and a daughter. I enjoy exercize, a few sports which I am not very good at, reading and watching football. Most of all, I enjoy hanging out with friends, having a good laugh and exploring new places.
