He came from a great family, lived and worked on a ranch, and was a hometown sports hero with good grades. As a teenager, however, this wasn't enough. Joe craved acceptance from his peers and started experimenting with drugs and alcohol as an avenue to achieve this goal, but found that even this wasn't enough. He kept pushing the limit to find the next high that was better than the last. As a young adult, he found himself lost in a dark, out of control world of drugs, deceit, manipulation, and violence that resulted in 12 felony charges and 7 felony convictions. In 2008, while locked up in a solitary confinement jail cell, he made the decision to reach out to Jesus and found forgiveness, love and hope.
Today he lives a life devoted to sharing the love of Jesus with others and helping them turn their lives around as Executive Director of Archangel Outreach Ministries, Inc. He also is a Pastor at The Healing Place Worship Center, a Church in Forsyth MO dedicated to helping those with similar stories get back on their feet and turn their lives around.view less
