I came to Christ at the age of 11. At 16, I felt called to go into some kind of Christian Ministry. As a result of this, I was given the opportunity to preach at various churches & youth meetings around the state of Florida where I was living at the time. After graduating High School, I worked for a few years at various jobs to earn money to go to college. I chose Free Will Baptist Bible College (now Welch College) to do my undergraduate studies while also taking classes at Belmont University and Fort Wayne Bible College. I graduated in 1978 with a B.S. degree while having majored in Bible & Elementary Education. For the next 37 years, I would work in the Insurance Industry in various roles in the Underwriting, Marketing, Sales & Claim departments all the while being involved with the ministry of teaching & sometimes filling in for vacationing pastors.

In the middle 2000’s, after a series of revival meetings, I felt led to begin graduate studies at Trinity Theological Seminary concentrating on Christian Apologetics. I finished my studies in June of 2011.

From 1975 until now, I began building a theological library which now consists of almost 1000 volumes. I completed a book entitled “Thy Kingdom Come” in 2002 which remains unpublished. I am currently rewriting some chapters and hope to publish it sometime in 2019.

My hobbies are fishing, camping, target shooting, flying model airplanes & performing Magic (Illusion) shows. I have been married to America Bales for 45 years. We have one daughter and one grandson.

I grew up just outside of Tampa (where I was born in 1945) on a small farm where we raised most of what was put on our table to eat.
My father and mother were very active in church, both were Sunday School and Training Union teachers and he, a deacon as well. We were there every time the doors were open.

Joined the Marines after high school. I was an infantry squad leader (sergeant) in Vietnam 66/67 of thirteen fine young patriots. Five were killed and five others wounded in combat during my tour of duty. I often mourn for them. They were some of America's best during that tumultuous time.
As a young man I drifted away from church, and it wasn't until January of 1979 that I finally returned and began serving the Lord. I attended both basic and advanced seminars put on by Bill Gothard's institute called Basic Life Principles in the early eighties. I also attended Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, and was certified in their outreach program, Evangelism Explosion, as both a trainer and lay leader. Returning to Tampa I helped start this program in five area churches.

I have raised five children (four sons and one daughter) to be God-fearing, law-abiding, productive citizens. One of my many blessings is they all still live nearby.

Today I live in the home my parents built in 1949.
