About me:

I have been the Lead Pastor of Harvest Time Church since 1999. Prior to that, I was the Associate Pastor here from 1996-1999. My wife, Denise, and I met while studying at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary and married in August, 1995. We have three amazing kids-twins, Ben and Maddie, and our youngest, Lauren. We are very thankful for "eenie, meenie, and miney," but we want no "mo!" We love living in the best town, pastoring the best people, and serving alongside the best colleagues in the whole world!

My roots: 

I was born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia.  I found Christ and was filled with the Holy Spirit as a boy during the heyday of the Charismatic movement.  My life was deeply touched by the ministries of many dynamic men and women of the Spirit. 

I felt called to ministry from the earliest time I can remember.  After high school, I studied at Faith School of Theology, where I earned a diploma in Pastoral Studies and Missions in 1988.  After two years on a church staff in Philadelphia, I studied at Central Bible College, where I earned a B.A. in Bible in 1991.  After another year on a church staff, I studied at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, where I earned a Master of Divinity degree in 1996.  (Denise completed her M.Div. and graduated at the top of her class in 1995.)  In addition to serving on church staffs in Maine and Pennsylvania, I was the interim pastor of a congregation in Missouri for over two years.  I also served on the staff of the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary for four years.  I received my ministry credentials from the Assemblies of God in 1996.
