I am a Christian writer, blogger and Bible teacher in the Tampa, FL area. My wife, Suzanne, and I founded Walking Barefoot Ministries, to help you take the next step of faith with God, live in the reality of His kingdom and experience His presence and power in your life.

I received King Jesus the Messiah at the age of six and grew up in the Christian and Missionary Alliance church. After high school, I studied for the ministry at Florida Bible College and graduated with a B.A. in Biblical Education. While at college, I met Suzanne, who was also a student there. We have been married since 1978 and have two wonderful children: Michael and Sara. We are active members of Revival Outreach Center, Dover, FL.

Suzanne came to an active faith in Jesus Christ in high school and from there went on to Bible college, where she attended for three years. In the Summer of 2000, she experienced a divine deliverance which released her from deep-seated fear. Since then, her faith has increased dramatically and she gives testimony to the healing power of God, on the theme of moving from fear to faith. Suzanne’s faith, insight and support are an invaluable part of our ministry.

On February 27, 2003, Suzanne and I were ordained to Gospel ministry by International Apostolic Ministries.

Our blogs include:

Years ago I asked the Lord to teach me about the practical aspects of faith. He introduced me to what faith actually is, where it comes from, how it grows and operates. He revealed the power of words, His words, in my mouth. He showed me that faith requires love and love requires faith. He taught me how faith and patience develop expectation. He instructed me in the absolute necessity of forgiving others and how that sets my faith free. In short, He taught me the dynamics of faith.

Now that I’ve learned how to use my faith in practical ways, the Bible has become even more vibrant and exciting. I’m trading my thoughts for God’s, believing His Word for all its worth, and I have discovered a host of world-changing truths.

That’s what my books and blogs are about.
