Why Petoskey
United Methodist Church: Pastors are appointed in the United Methodist
Church and the Bishop appointed me to PUMC in the Summer of 1997. I have found that this
church's strengths and needs fit well with my spiritual gifts. I have come to know and love the people of
Petoskey.
My time at
Petoskey United Methodist Church: God’s
holy Spirit has moved to bring healing and re-creation to this congregation. New people are coming to faith in Jesus Christ
while present disciples are growing in spiritual maturity.
This time is a great time to be pastor at Petoskey United Methodist Church.
 Favorite books: The River Why, The Hobbit, assorted civil war
novels and biographies, The Legend of Baggar Vance, Scripture.
Music: Very eclectic—Christian music,
country western, rock and roll, classical.
Movies: Lawrence of Arabia, Homeward Bound, musicals.
Most proud
of: My wife and children.
Remember me for: Having a deep
desire to seek the lost and nurture people to greater spiritual maturity.
