Place of employment: Trinity (Orrville) and Rittman United Methodist Churches.
Job description: Pastor
Why did you choose this profession? I didn't really choose it....God chose me!. I simply said yes to His call.
What is most rewarding about your job? Loving God by loving His people and introducing them to Jesus. Watching as their love for Him and their relationship with Him grows stronger. Also, being there with them on their journey.
What is most difficult about your job? The paperwork!
Family: I never had a family of my own but am blessed to have both my parents, Bob and Bobbie, who are in their 90s. I am also close to my sister Tracy, her husband Scott and my three nephews, Zach, Cody and Matt.
Pets: A rescue from my sister's barn: "Meow Kittie". (She's very vocal).
Favorite Movie: "It's A Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart.
Hobbies/Interests: Following the Cleveland Indians (Oops-Guardians!) and Browns; visiting friends and family; spending time at Lake Erie shores and islands (Catawba, Marblehead, Port Clinton).
Favorite quote: It's not a quote - it's a bible verse and I have a few "life" verses, but for today let's go with Isiah 43:1 "Do not fear for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; You are mine."
Favorite T.V. show: "The Chosen", created by Dallas Jenkins.
Why did you join Orrville Rotary? To get to know my new community and those living in it!
