My wife, Serena, and I first came to Blacknall in the mid-1980s, and we have called Blacknall our church family ever since. Although our Father has had His hand on me my whole life, I did make a commitment as a teenager to follow Jesus Christ and was helped by many people in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in high school and college. The fellowship and worship at Blacknall, however, have taught me the most about His incredible love for us and the ways we are to love one another.

My terms serving on the Session have made me feel the most connected to my church family, and I take great joy in praying with and for people. I am looking forward to seeing how the Lord provides for our congregation in the years ahead.
