On The Personal Side
Joy and I have been married for twenty-nine years and we have two children, Ryan and Alyson.  Joy is the choral director for Athens Drive High School.

I enjoy running and training for marathons. My seventh marathon was the Marine Corps in the fall.  My weekly work out includes stationary spinning and a variety of other cross training opportunities.

I lived briefly in the Cayman Islands and find the Caribbean to revive my soul and bring tranquility to a rapid pace of living.  We have a small condo at Emerald Isle and whenever possible it is a good place to offer some relaxation.

Throughout my ministry I have been actively involved in local and international missions.  Transformation comes in my spiritual growth when I set aside time to fully give myself for others in service.

I love reading, listening to music, watching Duke basketball and being with friends.  I love laughing and having a good time.

Defining Moment
A defining moment came in my spiritual journey when I realized it is not about me but about God.  When I started listening more and talking less the rhythm of life seemed to flow more in the direction of God.
