FAMILY INFORMATION
I have been married to my wife Lee for over 30 years and we have two married twin daughters, Lindsay and her husband Kevin and Sarah and her husband Daniel.  This is our second time to live in Phoenix and have been here almost two years this time around.  This is Lee’s third time to live in Phoenix.  I grew up in Missouri where I received my engineering degrees.  

HOW DID YOU COME TO NCC?
We were connected to NCC through the Ballmer’s.  We had worshiped with them at another church in our previous stint in Phoenix and stayed in touch with them over the years.  We very much appreciated NCC’s commitment to God’s Word and the leadership’s willingness to embrace us and put us to work.  It is our desire to share Christ with a lost world and NCC provides the foundation and opportunity to carry out that mission. 

WHAT IS YOUR ROLE AT NCC?
Along with my wife, I have the opportunity to lead “Just Walk Across the Room” outreach classes and Crown Financial classes.  We are currently leading a marriage enrichment elective entitled “Building Your Marriage to Last” that is a component of the Family Room marriage and family ministry that we help lead. 

and a few fun things…

I WOULD RATHER… watch the Lakers lose, THAN… watch the Suns win.

IF YOU COULD BE A SUPERHERO, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT YOUR SUPERPOWERS TO BE?
Run like the wind.  (Maybe not a fast as Clark Kent, but faster than Forrest Gump.)

WHAT MIDNIGHT SNACK COULD YOU NEVER HAVE ENOUGH OF?
Chocolate milk with lots of very dark chocolate.

NAME ONE HOUSEHOLD CHORE YOU WOULD NEVER WANT TO DO AGAIN.
Repair a vacuum cleaner.  No disassemble!

WHAT WOULD BE THE FIRST 3 WORDS OR PHRASES YOU WOULD TEACH A PARROT IF YOU HAD ONE?
He is risen!
