My wife of 43 years, Deann, and I have been attending FFC for 18 years. We have been members of the church for about 5 years. We have been blessed to have three adopted children who are now young adults. We have a granddaughter who will be turning two. I have been connected to the church through Guest Connections and the Men’s Ministry. I have had the privilege of serving as an usher and auditorium lead for many years, as well participating in the Men’s Ministry for several years. Recently, I participated in the 2-year program “Discipleship Essentials” and I will commence a small group within FFC to facilitate this training starting in February of this year. Deann was a greeter for many years and currently is a help desk volunteer. I have an undergraduate (Missouri S&T) and a post-graduate (Washington University) degree. I retired in 2017 from a 36-year career at Anheuser-Busch. I currently work part time as a Supply Chain consultant. I look forward to serving the Lord in various ways at First Free.
