A native of Kingston, Jamaica, raised in Boston, MA, by a family of preachers.  He received salvation and began preaching at the age of seven as the Holy Ghost overwhelmed his heart and gave him "dunamis-power" to preach His word. His first sermon was "Give the Devil a Black-eye".

He was educated in both Boston and New York Public Schools.  He graduated from West Roxbury High School and immediately began evangelizing throughout the New England area.  He also attended Cambridge Institute in Urban Mission for Theological studies.

He ministers apostolically and prophetically, realizing "God has confirmed a word in him just for you," yet operates in the fivefold ministry.  Salvation; deliverance; healing; and many miracles are being wrought through this ministry.  He teaches the importance of perfecting holiness to edify the believers and he preaches to electrify the body!

He relocated to Birmingham, AL in 1997 where he extended his ministry to the southern region.  He has been blessed with one son.  God saw fit in 1998 to move him to Bloomington, IN to gain pastoral experience at Revival Deliverance Edification Center "A Church of Confirmation."

In May 2000, the Lord sent a new vision and thus came the birth of Citadel Of Deliverance, "Pulling Down Strongholds" in Birmingham, AL.  A local assembly that has changed the lives of youth and brought the people of God to an awareness of deliverance and holiness. 

He is also gifted and musically inclined. He is a psalmist and specializes in worship. He plays various musical instruments, sings, and composes all of his music.  In April 2001, he recorded two (2) feature cuts on a joint project with Creating Stars for God.  The CD was released and is no longer available.  The CD was titled, "By Faith."  Bishop is expecting to return to the studio for a worship project. He also has a passion for writing as is currntly finishing a book on holiness. He is expecting to write another one on relationships.

This ordained oracle of God recently united with Pentecostal Fellowship Churches, Inc. as the National Prophet and one of the jurisdictional bishops under the prelate of Bishop Marshal L. Thomas. Bishop is also affiliated with The Unified Free Baptist Church under the Northeast Conference under the prelate of Bishop Walter Joyner, Sr. Bishop only desires to prove the Divine Will of God.  He plans to operate in his purpose.  He realizes his mandate for this time is to reestablish the body of Christ in the faith, holiness, order, and deliverance.  He only craves the prayers of the righteous as he continues to do the Will of God.
