I am a loving, kind person living a love-centered life. For over four decades, I’ve been a minister, teaching others about love’s transformative power. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Ministry, a Master of Divinity, a Doctor of Ministry, and a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling. A lifelong learner, I was ordained in 1977 by my non-denominational Christian church.
My career includes serving three congregations in Fresno, California, since 1981 and working as a board-certified chaplain at the Fresno Veterans Hospital. Now retired from parish ministry, I focus on writing and teaching—having published several books on love. Free of denominational ties or theological bias (as much as I’m aware), I tailor my services to meet people’s unique needs.
My offerings include personal growth teaching, spiritual counseling, workshops, seminars, and transitional rituals like baptisms, weddings, vow renewals, end-of-life support, funerals, memorials, and celebrations of life. Central to my work is The Home Model, a framework I created to guide individuals toward a love-filled life amid a stress-filled world. I also produce spiritual videos, including my recurring series, *What Was Jesus Thinking?, a commentary on the Revised Common Lectionary* gospel readings.
I do not provide mental health services—please consult a licensed professional for those needs. My work is pastoral, ministry-focused, and rooted in love.
My wife, Jennifer, and I have been married for over 50 years, raising four adult children and cherishing twelve grandchildren. We co-lead our family’s real estate business, founded by Jennifer’s father. As a licensed California real estate broker (DRE 01710197), I’m happy to assist with any real estate questions.
Beyond ministry and family, I find joy in nature’s beauty, especially at Yosemite National Park.
*The Revised Common Lectionary is a three-year cycle of scripture reading used in Christian worship, particularly in Protestant and some Catholic churches.
