BG and Angela
Pastor Dave Kraft, in his book Leaders Who Last, quotes a statistic that no more than 30% of Christian leaders finish well. My desire is to make a dent in that statistic and to help as many leaders as I can to finish well and to have a rich legacy of service and healthy churches and organizations. Too often I have seen passionate leaders sidelined or tripped up by not understanding some basic life management skills, ministry management skills, and basic leadership principles.
I am also certified as leadership coach by Ministry Coaching International.
Who I Am
A follower of Jesus, husband to a beautiful & loving wife, the father of two grown daughters, a citizen of a great country and a former soldier.

Thank you for the encouragement. Great privilege to serve. I was an officer in the Army – on active duty at Ft. Lewis, WA with the 9th ID in the early 80′s & then in the reserves in TX & MS.
I like your writing & would enjoy corresponding with you as time permits.
Blessings,
