Hi, I'm Bob...Before 29 years as an Executive Pastor in three thriving mega-churches, I dedicated 20 years to a career as an architect and construction manager, leading projects across the United States, Europe and the Middle East.
I currently reside in Louisville, KY, but over the years my journey has taken me across the globe. I’ve lived and worked in the incredible cities of Los Angeles, San Diego, New York City, Phoenix, Sacramento, London, Frankfurt, Dubai & Abu Dhabi.
Family
I'm blessed with an extraordinarily gifted wife, DJ, who is an author, women's ministry leader, pastor's wife, extraordinary mother and loving grandmother.
DJ and I are both so proud of our awesome married son, Pastor Scott and his terrific wife Carrie; and equally proud of our incredible married daughter, Jenni and her remarkable husband Dr.Toby, as well as the joy of eight wonderful grandchildren who keep our lives vibrant and full of love.
At their 2023 family reunion, Bob prayed a generational blessing over the family and handed the baton of family leadership to his son Pastor Scott and his son-in-law Dr Toby

What Others Are Saying
Michael Fernihough
Associate Pastor Christ Chapel Bible Church West Campus, Fort Worth, TX
Bob has been a cherished friend and mentor for over two decades. Our paths first crossed when I joined his church staff, but it didn’t take long to appreciate his thoughtful insights, genuine compassion, contagious joy, and deep love for God and His people. Throughout the years, Bob has coached me through ministry highs and lows, a transition out of ministry, and, more recently, an unexpected return to a ministry role.
Confiding in Bob means speaking to someone who not only genuinely cares but also draws from decades of diverse organizational, professional and ministerial experience. His wisdom, empathy, and practical guidance leave a lasting impact on everyone he mentors.

Dean of the School of Psychology Fuller Seminary, American Association of Christian Counselors Board Member
I am privileged to write this for Bob who my wife and I have known for 15+ years in both a personal and professional context. Bob was especially helpful when our middle daughter's husband was killed in an automobile accident. He significantly ministered to us when we asked him to perform the funeral service.
He is deeply committed to the gospel and service to the Church. Everyone who we know regard him highly. They know he is someone who can be fully trusted.
I strongly recommend him!

Executive Director of Development Zeeland Christian Schools, MI Former Youth Pastor
I served in youth ministry for 10+years as Pastor of Students for 300+ middle school-college age students. After getting my M-Div degree I became the Development director of a large Christian school. It's hard to put into words how much Bob has helped me over the years. Igt's not long you start talking to Bob you realize,"This guy has done it all!" Business, ministry, family an life. I can't thank him enough for what he has invested in my life
Love, wisdom, ministry insight, compassion, friendship, direction and accountability are just a few of the benefits I have received.
