I was blessed to grow up in Allentown, PA, surrounded by a loving family and a Roman Catholic foundation. Everything changed when my mother had a life-transforming encounter with Jesus and became born again.

Her faith was so genuine and powerful that just a year later,
I gave my heart to Christ and began a lifelong journey of following Him with everything I had.

As I grew in faith, I developed a deep love for God’s Word,
encountered His Holy Spirit in new ways, and sensed a strong calling to preach, teach, and shepherd His people.

After high school, I attended the University of Valley Forge, where I was grounded in Scripture and met the sweetest woman I know—Shelley Lynn Baker. We got married right after graduation in 1991, and our life together has been a beautiful adventure ever since. We’re the proud parents of two incredible kids: John (born in 1997) and Alison (born in 2001).

Over the years, ministry has taken us to places like Minerva, OH; Albany, NY; Niles, OH; Allentown, PA; and now—Westchester County, NY, where we feel deeply called to serve.

I’m passionate about Jesus, His Word, and the people He places in our path. It’s an honor to serve the Faith Bible Church family and be part of a vibrant, multicultural, and multigenerational community that truly feels like home.
