  • My Story:

    I was born and raised in Richmond. I married my lovely wife 37 years ago. I graduated from Fork Union Military Academy. I have a BS in Business, MA in Biblical Studies, and Doctor of Religious Studies from Regent University. Late in life, Linda and I served overseas in Slovakia, Poland, …… for…….years. In 1968, I went to a revival service and responded to the sermon after 1.5 years of being convicted in my faith. I came to River of Life in 20…. and am honor to serve this community.
