Hometown: I was born and raised in Morristown, Indiana, but have made Wadsworth, Ohio my home for over 25 years! Favorite Bible verse: Eph 3:20-21 "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Biblical character I align myself well with would be: Peter Family: I married my high school sweetheart, Paula. We have 3 grown children and 3 grandchildren. I am: a Christian, committed and competitive I am not: your stereotypical preacher! What I like best about working at Northside: Lots and lots of friends that have become like family! I have had the privilege to pastor people who have not only become some of my dearest friends, but we have become like a big, loving family! And the opportunity to see truly what God has done here in Wadsworth and all around the world through a group of people that love Him and are willing to truly live for Him.

I am not: technically gifted when it comes to electronics. What I like best about working at Northside: Daily using the gifts that God has given me to touch people’s lives in various ways and watching them grow in the family of Christ.
