How long have you been a Christian, and how did you come to Christ?
I was attending a business weekend in Atlanta the second Sunday in June 1982. I heard a message on the need to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and immediately answered an alter call. So thankful to this day!!!
How long have you been at the North Canton Chapel, and what brought you here?
Started attending services at the North Canton YMCA in 1991. Holly and I were attending a church downtown and our kids were going to The Chapel youth group! We decided to go The Chapel together! The right choice!!!
How has being an Elder shaped you, or allowed you to grow in your faith?
I was once told by one of my closest mentors in life that one could never completely master God’s word. Being an elder keeps me on that long life road , always uncovering another layer of His majesty! What a joy. Allows me to also serve this church with other great men!
Tell us something interesting about yourself.
I’m so fortunate to have married my high school sweetheart! We have two fantastic kids and six grandchildren that are all a joy! Working on building a second 1965 race car from scratch!
