Cowboy For Christ was born in Brooklyn on January 30th, 1954. As a kid, he always loved horses and by 1975 he was 100% cowboy. He worked in the Air Force for 16 years as a loadmaster, and then moved on to become a New York corrections officer. He obtained his name while involved in a ministry on a job for Corrections Officers for Christ. Now retired, he can devote much of time to teaching the history of the forgotten black cowboys of the west to the Kids at the Federation. He admires the Buffalo Soldiers and Bass Reeves, Nat Love, Isam Dart, Jesse Stahl and Stage Coach Mary. Cowboy For Christ’s biggest influence is the Lord and lives by Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me”.
