Relationship with Christ | My walk with Christ began when I accepted Jesus as Savior at the age of 10. My understanding of what that really meant didn’t begin until I was a young adult. So, during that time of my beginning to my understanding, I just went through the motions and routine of being a Christian. As a young adult, I found as I sought God and hungered for God, then God revealed His love and grace to me. At that moment it was the fulfillment of the words of Jesus, “Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door will be opened to you.” Since that day of wanting to know God, I grow deeper in that understanding and relationship every day.

Facebook or Twitter? (Nope. I do good to just e-mail and get my computer turned on in the mornings.)
First job Housekeeping job at my dad’s dental office. Emptying trash cans and running the vacuum.
If you could be on any reality show, which one? “The Biggest Loser” (While I don’t have a lot of extra weight to lose, I’d love the benefit of a personal trainer.)
Who's on your iPod? Andy Stanley, Bill Hybels, Mike Breaux, Frances Chan, John Ortberg, Jim Croce, James Taylor
American Idol audition song? “How Sweet It Is (to be loved by you)” James Taylor’s version
If you could live anywhere in the world, where and why? I would live on a beach somewhere. I just love the sand, sun and waves. I’ve often said that when I retire, I’m going to be one of those guys that set up umbrellas on the beach. Set up the umbrella and then “kick back” and enjoy the waves and reading.
My dream car is … (Paid for. I love my four door (paid for) Dodge pickup.)
What super power would you most like to have and why? Mind REading. Not only would that power benefit my work as a dad/husband, but also as a pastor!

Something you wish everyone understood I wish everyone understood that the middle lane of Getwell Road is a turn lane. It is not a personal, extra lane to drive in!
Which world problem would you most like to solve and why? I would solve the world hunger/thirst crisis. My heart breaks when I see children starving and struggling to find clean, fresh water. With the food supply of the world in abundance, starving children and unclean water shouldn’t be part of our world.
