ABOUT ME

In 1962 I succeeded my father who had served as senior pastor from 1922-1962.  My ministry began as an associate pastor in 1956.  My love of children and passion for Christian education led me to guide the congregation to begin their school system in 1960.  I retired as senior pastor of Trinity in 1999 when my son took over that position.  I retained my position as headmaster of the school system. 

Serving as headmaster has allowed me to follow all of my interests and passions.  I am living on Kent Island which allows me the privilege to do many of the things that I love like hunting, fishing and crabbing.  I also love exercise and sports.  I get the most joy from my wife Norma and our five children and their families, which now number seven grandsons, one granddaughter and two great grandsons!
