About Myself;

I live in the upstate New York area in a small town called Broadalbin. I work as a technician and programmer for a building automation company. I enjoy outdoor activities; camping, canoe/kayak paddling, my mountain bike. I like to fish, but it's mostly so that I can hang out with my son, Lyndsay.

I enjoy all sorts of music, jazz, rock and alternative. I play the bass at my church mostly. I play in one of two worship teams. I also play for a coffeehouse where I will sit in with many different groups. On occasion I sing vocals for the team. I sometimes do vocal covers in the coffeehouse.

It has been a privilege to be able to serve on two missions. I went to the Virgin Islands to do some construction work in 1997. I just recently (Nov 2000) went to Peru, also on a construction project.

I gave my life to The Lord in 1990 and I have been serving Him ever since.

My Family;

I have been married to my wife, Phyllis for 21 years. She is my joy. Phyllis is a teacher of the third and fourth grade at our Christian school. She has been a teacher for over 20 years, the last 4 at Perth Bible Christian Academy. Phyllis sings in the praise band, and is very active in music ministry at our church Perth Bible Church.

I have three children. My oldest, Jacki, is married. She and her husband, have a daughter 2 years old. They are currently serving in the military stationed in Germany. My daughter, Emily is 19. She is in her second year at Fulton Montgomery Community College. After graduation she will attend Eastern College where she plans to get a degree in Christian counseling. Emily is also very active in music. She sings in the other praise band. My son, Lyndsay, is 16 in June. He is a sophomore at Broadalbin-Perth High School. He is a wrestler. He is a good vocalist, as of yet, not committed. As for his plans, he's undecided that's ok.

My Beliefs;

As a fundamental, Bible believing, born again Christian, I hold true to the following;

 The Father: God the Father, the first person in the Holy Trinity, is eternal, the creator of all things, Unchangeable, and reigning Lord of the universe. He is worthy of praise, worship, adoration and obedience.

 The Son: Jesus Christ is fully God and was fully man. He came to Earth from Heaven, a sinless, perfect divine-human, through a miraculous conception, and virgin birth.

 Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead. The Holy Spirit dwells in believers and gives guidance, direction and convicts.

 The Bible: The divinely inspired Word of God. It is infallible, unchanged. It is authoritative in all matters. It is a record of the beginning of the world, the history of man, and his fall from God's grace into sin. It is also an account of man's relationship with God since.

 Creation: By His own hand, God brought the world and all creation into existence in six days.

 Satan: Also called Lucifer or The Devil, is a malignant, evil being who is a deceiver, accuser, tempter, and destroyer. God condemns him to eternal punishment and torment. All those who reject Jesus will join him in his torment (HELL).

 Redemption: The physical death of Jesus Christ on the cross as our substitute for the sin of the world, gives the believer hope through His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension into Heaven. As Jesus lives, so shall those who believe on His name.

 Salvation: Salvation from our sins comes from God by His grace alone and no other way. It is received by personal faith alone in the finished work of Jesus on the cross, and His victory over death.

 The last days: In the last days, Jesus will return bodily to Earth to judge and establish His kingdom.

 The Church: A fellowship of believers united together by the Holy Spirit into one redeemed body of Christ. The church is His possession, called to build the kingdom through the strengthening of the believers, and the winning of the lost through evangelism
