| Background |
I accepted Christ as savior in the Middle School department at FBCIR in 1990, and started dating my wife years later while we were both serving in that same Middle School Department. After I graduated from Liberty University, I married my wonderful wife Gaynel in 2003. We both had the privilege of growing up through the ministries at Indian Rocks, and are excited about the opportunity to impact children and families in this community for Jesus. We have a son Noah and daughter Kate. As a lifelong area resident and sports fan, I also go to as many Buccaneers games and local sporting events as I can. |
