Graduating from the University of Florida in 1980 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics, I chose to enter the full-time ministry. In building churches of over 1,000 in attendance, as a senior pastor I managed large staffs and developed as a public speaker. In 1997 I became a senior administrator, CFO and Corporate Secretary. In this capacity I was responsible for a budget of $3-5 million, accounts payable and receivable, human resources, risk management and information technology. In 1998 I joined HOPE worldwide as a fundraiser and volunteer coordinator concurrently with my administrative duties. In 2004 I became a licensed Real Estate Sales Associate. In this capacity I gained valuable experience in sales and marketing. In addition to this invaluable experience, I am a small business owner and a freelance writer. These varied experiences and opportunities have allowed me to develop a diverse and wide-ranging set of skills that would be a valuable asset in several fields.
