I grew up in beautiful Lancaster County, PA, but met my wife, Debbie, in western PA while we worked together as Young Life volunteers in college. After heading in our own directions, we finally tied the knot 11 years later. We have three married children and five grandchildren.  I’ve been a pastor, a missionary, and involved in ministry for over 30 years. Debbie faithfully coordinates the Learning Center at Philmont Christian Academy, and has a masters in counseling. My great loves are Debbie, interacting with family, interacting with my colleagues, various forms of exercise, reading and Sudoku. I love to teach the Scriptures and preach when there’s opportunity.
