My real passion: Presenting Jesus to the lost.

My drive to be an elder: It’s where I know the Lord wants me to serve.

My fondest experience at PV so far: Coming to the understanding that God is pleased as we (the elders) as a group become closer and unified in leadership

My personal dreams and goals for PV: That each family member finds his or her place to serve the Lord, to strengthen each other as we reach the lost in our community and the world.

Myself in a few words: I love the souls of our guests and visitors! I want to know about them and their families. I have a desire to help them to know Jesus and find a place in our church. Jesus has made me who I am: a father, husband and Pops. I love to go to a lake house with my family; golf, snow- and water-skiing, hunting and the Hogs … but most of all, I love sharing Christ.
