I am originally from Austin, Texas USA and have been in pastoral ministry for many years. Currently, my wife, Hortencia, and I pastor the Fairfield Community Church. The Bible has always been central to my relationship with Jesus and it is a privilege to teach the Scriptures. Hortencia and I have been married for 40 years and we have been blessed with four children and six grandchildren.
