Baptized into Christ: 1962

Member at Pleasant Valley since: 1977

Ministries I’m closely involved in: Teaching “Homebuilders” young marrieds class, jail ministry, Southern Christian Home, Central Arkansas Christian Schools

My personal dreams and goals for Pleasant Valley: That we as a church family not only model the righteousness and purity that God expects but also exemplify the love of Christ to each other and our community. I want us to be a loving and caring refuge for the lost and hurting. I want every member to find his or her place of service in the body so that God can be glorified to the best of our capability.

My real passion: Teaching

Some Scriptures that inspire me: Romans 6:4-5; John 1:1-14; John 13:3-5; John 14:1-4; Matthew 6:31-34; 2 Pet 1:2-3; Matthew 28:18-20

Myself in a few words: I love my family. I enjoy golf, snowboarding, travel, college athletics, and flying. I spend too much time on computers. I am grateful for friends who have stood beside me in difficult times, and I am thankful for our PV family. I care.
