I am an ordained minister in the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America, though not currenlty serving as pastor of a congregation. I am married (18 years) and have two wonderful sons. I currently work as an Associate Agent with Nationwide Insurance in Ligonier, PA. As opportunities arise, I provide substitute preaching at a number of churches, mostly within the Reformed Presbyterian Church.

I am also a writer and have published two books this year. The first is a collection of studies on the Westminster Shorter Catechism designed to help families study through the Catechism over a two-year period. It is in a three-ring binder format and can be purchased by churches with copies of the lessons made week by week as bulletin inserts. It's called "Family Worship Helps" and it can be obtained through Crown & Covenant Publications at http://www.psalms4u.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=DS201&Category_Code=

The second is a commentary and study guide on the Directory for Family Worship - a wonderful document adopted by the Church of Scotland in 1647 along with the Westminster Standards. My book is entitled "Returning to the Family Altar" and was published by the James Begg Society, whose web site can be accessed at http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~jbeggsoc/jbshome.html

My theology is best described as "Confessional Presbyterian." The Westminster Confession of Faith and Larger and Shorter Catechisms summarize what I believe to be the true doctrines of the Bible. I served as a pastor for 16 years in three congregations. Other labels that have been applied to me would include...

Calvinist
Postmilennialist
Partial Preterist
Hard-line right-wing conservative curmudgeon
