“Prayer is the most important thing that holds this ministry together. I’m committed to praying daily for Lisa, the GRM team, and for all that God is doing through this mission.”
Professional Background
Art has served in ministry to individuals impacted by addiction, alcohol, and mental health challenges for more than 30 years. His passion for this work stems from his own journey of encountering the love of Jesus and finding freedom from addiction—giving him deep compassion for those facing similar struggles.
In addition to ministry, Art’s background in commercial real estate ownership and development, along with his financial insight, brings valuable experience to GRM’s Board in the areas of stewardship and long-term planning.
Areas of Expertise

Mission Connection
Art supports Gospel Rescue Mission because he has personally experienced the transforming power of Christ and believes deeply in helping others find that same hope and healing.
He is especially inspired by GRM’s Christ-centered approach that meets both the spiritual and practical needs of those we serve.
One of his greatest joys is standing alongside the CEO and dedicated staff, witnessing God’s love in action each day through changed lives.
Personal Background
Art is semi-retired and enjoys spending his free time with family and friends. Golf is one of his favorite ways to relax and build relationships outside of ministry.
