I am married to Susan Mullins and we have two sons in their 20s, Quinn and Charlie. I have been a Christian since the 1970s. Susan and I moved to Durham in 1993 and joined Blacknall in 1993. I served as a Deacon at Blacknall beginning in 1994. I am a lawyer and Susan is a physical therapist. We moved away in the late 90s for work, but returned to Durham in the early 2000s. Upon our return, we resumed our membership at Blacknall. We love Blacknall!

I have been a Christian for over 50 years, clinging to Jesus’s promise of salvation and God’s amazing grace to allow me to an unearned eternity in heaven. I strive to be a Christian in all my walks of life as a husband, father, neighbor, and lawyer. I fail daily at this goal in nearly every fact of my life. But, I’m drawn to the New Testament’s call to be transformed by the Word and a daily walk trying to follow Christ. I know I need Jesus in my life and a Christ-centered, Bible believing church. I believe I’ve found this at Blacknall. It’s a journey of trust, failures, effort, and constant renewal for all of us, including our own church, who seek Him.

A sponge rots if the water isn’t wrung out periodically. I want to be of use to the Lord, and I want help Blacknall and our community wherever I can. Making coffee, helping where and when asked, and encouraging people to be wholly engaged here, and now. We live in the present: not in the past nor in the future. So, I hope to help now as a Deacon as I did at Blacknall in the mid-1990s.
