Faith Cycle Ministries - Board of Directors

I am a husband, a father, a son and a sinner. Only by the grace of the Father am I saved and allowed to work with this ministry. I accepted Christ as Lord of my life when I was 31 and I remember very well what I am saved from. I also remember the questions and struggles I had while learning what it meant to be a Christian.

It wasn't until Nov 2004 that I knew what God wanted from my life. I spent 20 plus years working in the manufacturing world, in such positions as Vice-President of Operations, Director, Plant Manager and the list goes on. During a layoff in mid 2004, I was able to listen to God, and through much prayer, I met with the other members of this team and together started FCM. The pull I felt from God was so strong and the vision was so clear I had to wondered why I didn't hear the call before. Only to realize that I was so caught up in my own life that I didn't have time for God, even though I called my self a Christian.

I am a very hyper and driven person which is why my life verse is "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalm 46:10
