I wish I could say we had a big cool black lab who’s name is Rocko. Unfortunately, we have a Shihtzu named Chewy, who is partial to my wife and doesn’t think much of me.
Your biggest challenge…
Having the vision and passion to take on the world but humbling myself and being patient for God’s perfect timing.
Do you have a “Cause”
My passion is to help people truly receive and give Christ-inspired forgiveness. As the founder/director of Live To Forgive Ministries, I have the opportunity to speak to audiences around the nation about forgiveness. When I was 12-years old, my mom was murdered by my stepfather, Bob. For years I wanted to kill him and thought forgiveness was impossible. After truly surrendering to God and letting Him transform my heart, I was able to forgive, reconcile, and love Bob. My journey was captured in a award-winning, feature-length documentary, called, “Live To Forgive” and is now available in Christian bookstores and online.

What is #1 on Bucket List (dream big)?
Conduct a weekly international television show (with my wife) about forgiveness.
