About
With over 50 years of marriage, Denise and I share a life rich in love, family, and community. We’re blessed with two children: our son, a communications Technician, lives in Clovis with his wife and our wonderful granddaughter, now ten years old. Our daughter, a Registered Nurse, lives with her husband in Oakland.
In our free time, my wife and I love traveling, camping, and relaxing by the beach. Around our home, we’re always working on a new project—gardening, decorating, remodeling—enjoying the process of making our home a reflection of our passions.
Professional Journey and Calling
My career path has been diverse yet deeply fulfilling, spanning over 25 years in marketing and entrepreneurship. For two decades, I owned and operated Spectrum Business Forms, a role that honed my business acumen and love for client service.
In 2003, I felt called to ministry, and with the support of my faith, I earned my Master of Divinity from Fresno Pacific University MB Seminary. This shift brought me to pastoral work, community leadership, and mentoring through MAN—Men’s Action Network, a non-profit dedicated to empowering men’s ministry leaders. As part of my journey, I founded CARE Services to offer wedding officiating, funeral planning, and notary services, bringing compassionate support to families during life’s significant moments.
With over 300 weddings and as many funerals officiated, it has been an honor to serve as a community pastor.
Community and Involvement
I’ve been an active Rotarian for 27 years, including time as a board member of North Fresno Rotary. Denise and I are members of Atascadero Bible Church, and I’ve held various roles supporting local organizations, from the Fresno Rescue Mission to Hinds Hospice.
