I am a 1978 graduate of Adena High School.
I served in the United States Army at Fort Lewis Washington from March of 1985 to March of 1988.
I spent the next 12 years as an OTR truck driver for Trans States Express out of Cincinnati,Ohio.
In the year 2000 I began working for the City of Chillicothe at the Chillicothe Transit System. In 2006 I married my wife Peggy who was my boss at the time, and after 20 years of marriage that hasn't changed a whole lot. After 21 1/2 years at the Transit System, I retired in December of 2021.
Our faith is very important to us. In 2006 we asked Jesus Christ into our lives as Savior and Lord over our lives. We attend Acts Believe Church in Pleasant Valley where I taught Sunday School for almost 7 years. In 2024, by the Lord's leading, I became pastor of Acts Believe Church and am humbled and grateful to serve my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I am a 1990 graduate of Paint Valley High School. I gave my life to Christ in 2013. I quit my full time job to become a full time missionary. My missionary is called Echoes of Mercy and I focus most on helping the homeless around our area. I also spent 2 months in Cambodia and am hoping to go back again soon. I became associate pastor in 2025. 
My goal is to share my story and be hands and feet for Christ. I want people to know they are never too far gone to find the love of Jesus Christ and accept them as their Lord and Savior.
