I was raised in Central Ohio by godly parents and enjoyed my upbringing with 2 younger brothers. I graduated from Harding University in 1987 and was married to Lenore later that year. We both worked before kids (me in youth ministry) and attended graduate school. After receiving masters degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy, we had our first child - a boy. He now has 2 younger sisters, (years born:1992, 1994,and 1996). My ministry career began at the a Church of Christ in Indianapolis, Indiana. From there we moved to do a 3 year work with a mission effort to rebuild a struggling church in New Kensington, Pa. From there we moved to work for a Church of Christ in Cincinnati, Ohio and have been here for the past 11 years. Recently, I made the shift from youth ministry to family ministry and am excited to see what God will do through this effort. My ministry passions are families, counseling, missions, worship, and outreach. Personally, I enjoy outdoor sports (hunting, fishing, hiking, golf, etc...), football (Ohio State, Bengals), Cincinnati Reds baseball and singing.
