I am the missions pastor for Northwood church, where my wife and I have been members for the last seventeen years. We accepted Jesus in our hearts here, were water baptized here, got married here, and were baptized in the Holy Spirit here. Our children and grandchildren were water baptized and dedicated here. Our oldest daughter was married here, so this church is our home.

I am a Native American from the Oglala Lakota tribe, on the Pine Ridge reservation, in South Dakota. We have seven adult children and twenty four grandchildren and one great grandchild.

I am currently going to school to get my credentials to be a lead pastor one day, and hope to pastor my fellow Native Americans.
