My Story: Patricia and I were born the same day – January 15, 1953. We met in high school, married in 1974, and have been in full-time ministry since 1975. This includes three pastorates in North Carolina and eleven years as missionaries to Brazil. We came to Trinity in 2002 and I retired from this wonderful congregation in November 2019. I am a graduate of Brevard College, Mars Hill University, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and Vanderbilt University. We have three children (our youngest died at age 4 in 1993) and 5 genius grandchildren (three in Atlanta and two in Memphis).
