President, Christian Financial Ministries

Personal

The absolute joy of my life was to ask and receive Jesus Christ into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior back in 1980. Prior to that time I had achieved some successes in business and in the military but had also experienced the personal pain of bankruptcy and divorce. Two years later I married Debbie, a Christ-centered, beautiful nurse. During our years together we’ve had some great times and some tough times but God is always faithful and continues to bless our marriage.

Over the years I’ve enjoyed such things as coaching youth soccer and swim teams, working with Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts (past tense), and serving on the Board of Directors for one of the largest social-service organizations in the metro-Atlanta area.

For the last 30 years, it’s been my very great pleasure and honor to spend a great deal of time working with some of the top Christian financial teachers and organizations such as Larry Burkett and Dave Ramsey. Having seen the inside of these and other great ministries and organizations, I’ve seen what works and could work better when it comes to helping individuals and families successfully receive, learn, apply, and pass-along Christ-honoring Bible-based financial principles and applications.

God combines all this background and experience, with a burning desire to invest in the lives of others for many years to come.

Debbie and I have two sons, two daughters, four grandsons, and two granddaughters.

We love to spend time with our families, travel, keep physically fit, and love being part of God’s work through Pastor Steve Taylor at McConnell Memorial Baptist Church, Hiawassee, Ga.
