I oversee our Care Ministry which includes hospital and shut-in visitation, funerals, counseling, benevolent fund, prayer connection, and baptism. I also oversee our Connection Ministry which includes the Get to Know and Membership Matters classes, as well as our greeters, Connection Center workers, and ushers. I lead the overall process of guiding first-time guests in the assimilation process through church membership.

I was born and raised and have always lived in the Valley.  It is a great place to call home, and I am humbled to have the opportunity to share the Gospel and minister to my hometown.  I received Christ as a preteen and have grown in a relationship with Him through His Word, along with the trials and tribulations of life.

I have been part of Old North Church since 1979 and graduated from Canfield High School in 1987.  My wife, Geri, and I have been married since 1990, and we have four children:  Rebecca, Ricky, Shelby and Faith.  I sensed the move into ministry after dealing with the deaths of two of our daughters, Shelby and Faith.
