Having served as a member of three Baptist churches in my lifetime, my Christian walk with the Lord began at the age of ten at Second Baptist Church in Ashland, Ky. Later I served as a Deacon at Central Baptist Church in Winchester, KY. In 1983 Liz and I moved back to Ashland and joined First Baptist Church, where I began serving as a Deacon again. I have served in many roles over those sixty-six plus years as a Sunday School teacher of all ages, committee chairman on several different committees, and Deacon Chairman several times. Now I am in the role as one of the shepherds of an exciting and growing congregation here at Legacy Ashland, First Baptist Church.
After graduating from the University of Kentucky, Liz and I were married. Liz and I have two sons and eight grandchildren. Both of our physician sons have served in foreign countries as medical missionaries. Several of our grandchildren have also served on foreign and domestic mission trips. We are so proud of them that they are serving the Lord.
Fun Fact: Although Liz and I have been married for fifty-three years, we have celebrated fifty-nine Valentine Days together. We have been blessed.

Nick’s music career expanded beyond the stage as an artist, and he also founded a recording studio which provided production services for other artists, who gained success in wide ranging fields of entertainment. Nick’s behind the scenes work can be heard and seen everywhere from the Southern Gospel radio charts, to NBC’s The Voice, to the Hallmark Channel, to Veggie Tales, and being featured in Hal Leonard sheet music books.
