Statement of Support:

For the past 34 years I have also been a Southern Baptist bi-vocational pastor, serving small churches that could not otherwise afford a full time pastor. During that time I worked for Allstate, owned my own independent insurance agency, and trained child advocates to represent deprived children in the State of Georgia Juvenile court system.

I feel that I am a good administrator; a good communicator, a good listener, and a good decision maker. I am good at writing reports, submitting required paperwork, and computer literate. I am good at examining things and determining their worth. I am experienced in taking pictures.
