Robert came to the Middle Florida Baptist Association from his home state of North Carolina in June of 2018. He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He and his wife Kim have been married since 1985. She is a retired school administrator. They have four adult children and two grandchildren.
Robert has been in vocational ministry since 1985. He has served in a variety of positions in churches in Illinois, Georgia and North Carolina. One verse that has come to mean a great deal to Robert is John 3:30 when John the Baptizer referred to Jesus and said, "He must increase, but I must decrease."
There are three areas of concern that Robert desires to address among our Middle Florida churches: 1) help them make disciples who make other disciples, 2) encourage and support the pastors and their families and 3) help our churches to have healthy practices.
