I am excited for the opportunity to be the facilities manager here are ALUCC since 2023. My wife Celeste and I joined the church in 1996 and I have been actively involved in several boards, committees, Sr. High Service Trips, and the Saturday Morning Work Crew.



I am originally from Delton, MI and moved to Avon Lake in 1985. I recently retired from the U.S. Coast Guard starting out with a 5-year enlistment and then serving as a civilian employee for the 37 years in Cleveland, OH. My career was primarily focused on small boat, cutter, and facility electronic support and maintenance.


Celeste and I like to travel to visit our grandchildren in New Jersey and Colorado. When I am not fixing things around the church, I enjoy working on my own home, bird watching, and golfing.
