Where you are from: Born in God's Country, a.k.a. Wisconsin.

Your Story: (How you got to RiverTree): We moved to Ohio from Missouri in 1997. After attending several churches and not getting that loving feeling, we attended the then Jackson Christian in Sauder Elementary on Mother's day in 1997. A friend invited us, even though she hadn't attended yet! She heard it was a great place to be, and she was right!

Family: Yep, got one.
OK, my wife of 28 years and my favorite person in the world is Tami. We have two children, Dan (27) and Brianna (23). Dan is married to Melissa and they have four kids, Sara (13), Mikey (12), Taylor (11), and Mason (5). Brianna is about to give birth to Grandkid number 5, Isabella Capri, any day now! We have one dog, Jasmine (11), and three cats, Ebenezer (3), Smokey (13) and Bandit (13).

Favorite Sports Team: Green Bay Packers - can't help it, it's in my blood. GO PACK!
