Born: Flint, MI

Family: Wife, Angela, married in 1994, Daughter, Kelsea… They are the beat of my heart!

Hobbies: Riding motorcycle, outdoor activities such as fishing and disc golf, and keeping up with gadgets and technology.

Salvation: June 1981, I was filled with the Holy Ghost at a small campground in Indiana, and shortly after was baptized in Jesus’ name.

What fascinates me: I’m a student of marketing, human behavior and usability, and have always been fascinated with what influences people’s choices and decisions. Above all, however, I’m eternally fascinated by the depth of the love of Christ for humanity.

Favorite Book: I can’t limit it to one, so I’ll say The Bible, “The Tale of Three Kings” by Gene Edwards, “Blink” by Malcolm Gladwell, and any book on prayer by E. M. Bounds.

Favorite Food: Lasagna. My Mom’s lasagna, to be specific.

Favorite Musical Artist: I can’t name just one… I currently have Fred Hammond, Casting Crowns, Chris Tomlin and Royal Tailor on my playlist.

Favorite Place to Pray: The steps of the altar at church.

Favorite Sports team: You’ll usually find me rooting for the underdog. Otherwise, the Detroit Red Wings and anyone who’s opposing Ohio State.

Best thing someone said to you: “I do”

My life Motto: Love God with all my heart, mind, soul and strength, and love others as I love myself.

Two people I would like to meet: Victor Jordan and Charles Parham

My Hero: My Dad. He has always been the image of the man I want to be… One of strength, integrity, compassion and a vibrant sense of humor.
