I came to know Jesus at a church camp when I was eleven years old and I spent the next three years reading a children’s Bible. Sports became my “god” and I quickly began to lose my first love. While attending the University of Louisville I tore my right ACL and was out of baseball for a year. I became involved in gambling and was suspended by the NCAA for 14 games. My girlfriend broke up with me. All this took place over a three-month period.

In April of 1993, at the urging of my sister, I repented and my life has never been the same! King Solomon wrote about life and came to this conclusion: “Without God in the middle, life is meaningless!” Christ has given me life because He is the Author and Perfecter of it.

"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me– the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace." Acts 20:24
