I have been in a church environment my entire life. I am a third generation teacher and currently am teaching at Marion High School.  My educational degrees are from Indiana State (BS) and Ball State (MA).  I am currently working on a Masters degree in Christian Leadership at Indiana Wesleyan University.  I felt a sincere desire and calling in 2000.  In August 2007, I made a commitment to start my degree for the pastorate.  I owe this opportunity to God, for He has given me a very supportive family.  My wife, Sue, is also a teacher.  We were married in 1980, and we have two daughters, Amanda and Lauren, who both reside in Marion.  Being involved in the lives of others is a gift from God.  May I be given the chance to share His love through the people I meet here at CPW and in our community.
