My Journey: From the Farm to God's Calling
I was born and raised in Texas, my father was a farmer, therefore, that life and career was my desire. I farmed for 15 years, then sensed a strong calling from God to train and prepare for vocational ministry. I left my farming career and went to Seminary and Bible College, ultimately earning a master of divinity degree.
My wife and I moved to Colorado in 2001; we were in a hotel looking for a place to live when the Twin Towers fell (9/11/2001). We decided to continue the process of moving from Texas to Colorado. Our purpose for being in Colorado was to start a ministry and/or church plant. As life happens (and it is a long story), I was divorced from my wife in 2017. The wonderful thing is I have two beautiful daughters, Faith (21) and Gabi (19). Other than the Lord Jesus Christ, they are the light of my life. During our times here, I have worked as a truck driver all the while hoping doors would open for ministry and life coaching to help people become all God designed and destined for them to be.
My former position at work was terminated so I believe God opened the door for me to be available to come alongside others and partner with them in their life journey.
The degrees and certifications that I have achieved mean very little unless saturated and combined with love and passion for God and my fellow human beings. I believe that my love, passion, and life experiences are essential qualities necessary to be the effective life coach you need, desire, and deserve.
