I am one of those fortunate people who loves my work. More than a job, it is a calling that continues to shape my life. With excitement I watch what God is doing in His church and in the world He loves so much.

Family is important to me. Vicki and I enjoy our children and grandchildren; just ask us about them if you want a long conversation. My hobbies include hiking, golf, motorcycle riding, woodworking, and handyman projects.

She has enjoyed getting to know the wonderful children of RHUMC and helping them grow in their faith. She could not do it without the dedicated volunteers that provide much needed support for this ministry. RHUMC truly has a heart for children and makes this program a priority.
