The Family: lft to rt: Bobby, Katie, Pastor Bob, Dail, Mandie, and Joe (Mandie's husband)
My Story: I grew up in up-state NY, and moved to NC with my family in 9th grade. I graduated from High Point College (NC) in 1980. Yes, I played basketball there. I worked at Procter & Gamble for 9 years as a technician making Crest Toothpaste in Greensboro, NC! I started going to church when I was 27.
My best friend was killed in a hunting accident soon thereafter, and this is what God used to drive me to my knees. I was born again March 1st 1987 while sitting in Christ Community Church in Greensboro, NC. Six years later I left P&G for Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, FL, and graduated in '95.
I was the pastor at my first church, Huntersville ARP Church just north of Charlotte, NC for five years '95-'00. And was the pastor at Shepherd Rd Presbyterian Church in Lakeland, FL for seven years 2000-'07.
I then worked through a one year "church planting internship" from May 07 - May 08., at First Presbyterian Church in Lake Placid, FL, praying, planning, and preparing to follow God's lead as He starts this new church.
We arrived in Jax, May 1st (08) ready to get started!
Yes, I am very tall, 5' 20", and my wife is shorter, 5' 1".
