We are bound together in the love of Christ, to be his body, and to proclaim his love and redemption for all people, made in his image, to his glory.  In the grace of God, I am called to minister from the gift of His Love, Peace, Reconciliation and Healing; and to reveal the nature of Jesus. I am a descendant from Mennonite (immigrants from Switzerland) and Methodist/Episcopal traditions; and now blessed to serve the Lord, our Savior, as a Deacon in the holy, catholic and apostolic Church, as nurtured in the ACNA. I am husband to Pattie, father to Stephanie and Justin and Grandpa to River and Parker. I fulfilled my ministry studies through the Holy Trinity Theological College and Seminary; and was ordained as Deacon, May 17, 2008, by Bishop Rich Lipka (Missionary Diocese of All Saints). I enjoy the blessing and license from Bishop Alex Farmer to serve here with you in our diocese of the Gulf Atlantic. May the peace of God be with you.
