Professional & Ministry Experience

I have worn many hats throughout my career in both ministry and business. For over 25 years, I have been leading and working alongside people in various roles as an pastor, Bible teacher, entrepreneur, and business owner. I have been serving at First Baptist Church in Cameron, Texas as the lead pastor since June 2023 emphasizing the centrality of the Bible in all we do, as it points us to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We have seen steady growth in the desire to study the Bible, the desire to fellowship with one another, and the shared desire to give of ourselves as we seek to fulfill the Great Commission.

Ministry Timeline

  • June 2023 - Present

    First Baptist Church Cameron | Cameron, Texas

    Lead Pastor

    As the lead pastor my sole desire is to preach truth and love well. To preach the burden of the whole of God’s revelation, the balance of things, leaving nothing out that was of primary importance, never ducking the hard bits, helping believers to grasp the whole counsel of God that they themselves would become better equipped to read their Bibles intelligently and comprehensively.(2 Tim. 3:16-17) The reason we emphasize the Bible in all that we do is because right doctrine produces right living.(Titus 2:1-14) We are empowered to reflect godliness in the lives of others and love them well because Christ first loved us. (1 John 4:19)
