 Vision
Equipping Men for Victory Mission
The DAD University is in the business of changng and shaping the lives of men. Goals
To acknowledge and celebrate the fathers who are involved and performing their role as the DAD. To exhort fathers falling short of their responsibilities, to get in the game, and to suit up for their children. The DAD University Statement of Faith and Fundamentals
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old Testament and New Testament are the inerrant, inspired, and infallible Word of God. God’s Word is the final authority for faith and life.We believe there is only one God, and He has chosen to reveal Himself as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe man was created in the image of God and the sin of Adam (the first man) marred that image, creating an eternal divide between God and man. Every person is born in sin. We believe the only way a person can have a true, forgiven relationship with God is through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary and conceived by the Holy Spirit. Jesus became man without ceasing to be God. Our right standing with God is made sure because of His literal, physical resurrection. We believe in the literal, physical return of Jesus to judge the living and the dead. We believe God offers eternal life as a free gift and that it must be received by faith alone through God’s grace alone. The life that comes from this gift is a permanent possession of the one receiving it. We believe the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a local body of believers on mission to enlarge God’s kingdom. The local church is autonomous, free of any external authority of control. We believe in believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the two ordinances of the church.

I have worked in the oil and gas industry, primarily living in the Houston, Texas area since 1996. I also enjoy relaxing on a beach, any beach, as the sound of the ocean brings me peace.
