Best thing someone said to you:
“Your body came from dirt, is sustained by dirt and goes back to dirt. But your spirit came from God, is sustained by God and will return to God.” ~ From a life-changing message from Pastor Robert years ago.

Life Motto: Be real, be authentic, and live every day with purpose.

My Hero: My wife, the queen of our home. (I love you, Babe!)

One of My Greatest Experiences with God: God spoke to me before I was saved and whispered three times, “pastor, pastor, pastor.” Back then I was like … say what?! … But, of course, He was right.

Most People Don’t Know This About Me: I won the People’s Choice Award for Best Actor at the Terrell Community Theater. I nailed a hole-in-one at Indian Oaks Golf Course, and I was a competitve ballroom dancer with my wife before we got married.
