Author Profile
I live in Prescott, Ontario, with my beautiful wife Rachel, my rambunctious three-year-old Xander, and our two fun-loving but very lazy pugs, Pandora and Portia. Without my family I’d be lost. With them I am the richest man alive. I am also privileged to pastor the incredible people of Maynard United Pentecostal Church. They are truly salt-of-the-earth type people. Growing up I was homeschooled, and then graduated with highest honours from Carleton University in Ottawa with a double major in Journalism and History. I have always had a passion for writing and I write in my very rare spare time when I’m not doing pastoral work or managing and operating my own lawn care business. I currently have one work of Christian historical fiction published through Word Aflame Publications. It is entitled "A War Within: The Gladiator." It's sequel, "A War Within: The Legionnaire," will be available from Word Aflame soon. I like to say I pastor to touch souls, write to touch hearts, and mow lawns just to keep food on the table.

Isn’t that just the way […]
