ALAN SCHMOOK

National President

I joined Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International (FGBMFI) in 1974. During my 36-year membership with FGBMFI, I had the opportunity to serve in every chapter office - as a field representative and as a National Director. It was my honor to be the last National Director of FGBMFI appointed by Demos Shakarian. In 2010, I moved my affiliation to Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship in America (FGBMFAmerica™). Since joining FGBMFAmerica, I have served as a National Director for the State of Oklahoma. I have also been privileged to serve as the National Administrator for the last three years.

Professionally, I am involved in the business of commercial real estate appraisal and consultation. I began my career in 1976 as an associate with my father's appraisal company. In 1985 I acquired the company from my parents. During my more than 30 years as a commercial real estate appraiser, I have had the opportunity to work for individuals, small companies, Fortune 500 corporations, and local, state, and federal government agencies. I have also recruited and trained numerous individuals. Many of these individuals have gone on to establish their own companies or are successfully employed in other areas of real estate development and/or finance. I have professionally served in several capacities at the local, state, and national levels within the appraisal industry.

One of my greatest delights is to see the success of individuals I helped along the way to establish their careers or their positions with in FGBMFAmerica™.

ROY BRIAN

National Executive Vice President

As a member of the NEC, I have the opportunity to wear several hats but perhaps one of the most active roles is that of National Events Director.  After joining the International Fellowship in 1988, I attended my first World Convention in 1992 held in San Francisco where I got hooked in the ministry of helps.  I was one of two volunteers assigned to stuffing registration envelopes.

 My responsibilities have changed over the past 27 years as a planner and coordinator, but one point has remained clear- serve with a spirit of excellence as unto the Lord.  I have had the privilege to serve with others who also hold this value dear.  Men and women with a servant’s heart who volunteer year after year, giving of their time and resources to produce an event that is pleasing to the Lord.  Our desire is to create an atmosphere where “whosoever will” can be drawn into the presence of the Holy Spirit and their lives changed wonderfully for eternity.  We’re also called to minister to hotel personnel wherever we go.  

My service in the Fellowship has had an everlasting impact on my life.  I joined associations in the hospitality industry which gave me insight on the many event planning components including contract negotiations, site selections and best overall values. 

But I believe my commitment strengthened when I transitioned to Full Gospel America in 2009.  As a businessman, I have been able to hone administration skills that may have otherwise remained dormant.  There have been challenges but working with like-minded men of faith gives me hope for the future.  Far and wide, I’ve had the opportunity to build relationships and yet nurture close ties with friends who have chosen to serve in the army of the Lord- the Fellowship.  We are family!

In his book, The Vision Intensified, Demos Shakarian writes, “He (God) only needs our willingness to hear and obey His will.  The Holy Spirit will supply all the rest.  Those are the Spiritual Roots that launched this Fellowship and that’s the Spiritual Truth that will take us into the future.”

Our future is in the hands of the Next Generation, who God has given us a mandate to reach.  To do so, we need a few good seasoned men whose dented armor tells stories of the victorious battles along the journey.  These would be men, rich with experience, who God may be calling to reveal His purposes and plans in a young man’s life.  Is that you?   

GREG SIMPSON

National Treasurer

I graduated from TCU in 1971 with a BBA with a major in Accounting.  I began working in Public Accounting in 1969 for local CPA Partnership in Ft Worth, TX and went out on my own in July 1979 when I passed the CPA Exam.

I built my own office in 2000 in North Richland Hills, TX.  It presently houses my Public Accounting Practice, the National Office of FGBMFAmerica™, and the ministry office of India Gospel Team Mission.

I have lived on a 5+ Acre piece of heavily wooded property in Colleyville, TX which I have maintained for the past 27+ years with my wife (the love of my life and best friend) of 32 years, Rhonda.  We have four happily married children who are all walking with the Lord and 15 Grand Children ages 1 ½-12 years old.
