After completing Aircraft School, I struggled with openly discussing my faith. However, I soon felt God prompting me to overcome this fear and share His word publicly. This was a turning point in my journey. Starting my ministry in Houston, Texas became the cornerstone of my commitment to serving God and others. This experience ignited a lifelong passion, driving me to dedicate myself to God's service and the well-being of others. My faith journey and entrepreneurial experiences have deepened my commitment to supporting those in need. This reflects my Christian values and desire to positively impact the world. The Houston ministry laid the foundation for my lifelong service to others. My entrepreneurial ventures with my wife, Charlene, have highlighted the importance of Christians in the marketplace. I've come to see how faith can be spread and lives changed through business and outreach initiatives. Our involvement with Women with Vision, Inc.
