Very Brief Testimony
I was saved as a youth while living in the Houston area. I didn't walk with the Lord and was pretty rebellious. When I went away to college, I didn't want to attend church and wanted to declare my freedom from attending with my mom. In the later years of college, I began to feel empty and a desire to return back to the Lord, after trying most of what the world has to offer. A friend and I tried out a local church and got plugged in, and that is where I rededicated my life to the Lord, and first felt the call to full-time ministry. I also met my wife there. I graduated and moved to Austin and started working for Emerson Electric. I got married a year later and we were blessed with 3 boys over the years. We were attending an Independent Baptist church for most of this time, and heavily involved in the leadership. We left that church in 1999-2000 and attended Calvary Austin and were hooked from the start. It was our first exposure to a Calvary, and we loved it. We have served in various capacities here over the last few years, and accepted a position in December 2003 as Executive Director, leaving Corporate America and a 15 year career behind with little thought, knowing it was God's calling in our lives.

Favorite Book of the Bible and Why
Psalms-I can't help but be brought into worship when I read it.
Favorite Verse and Why
Galatians 6:9, It is a promise to overcome and succeed if we will not give up and continue to wait upon the Lord.
Favorite Book (besides the Bible) and Why
Ordering Your Private World by Gordon MacDonald. It is a good review of our priorities and spiritual world, to make sure that we are balanced and don't crumble in this world.
Who do you most admire (besides Jesus)
Andrew Murray-He seemed to have such a grasp on prayer and a relationship with the Lord, and I aspire to follow in his shoes and have that type of relationship with Christ and understanding of spiritual things.
What do you do at Calvary
I am the Executive Director, overseeing the church staff and administration.
