"Sharon means family to me. Jason and I visited another church in the area for two years before visiting Sharon. We were welcomed as soon as we stepped foot into Sharon, something I cannot say we felt at any other church. Each Sunday we travel thirty minutes, each way, to be with our church family."

How I became a Christian:  Psalm 139:13 states – "Oh yes, you (God) shaped me first inside, then out, you formed me in my mother's womb."  God has had a hand in my life for as long as I can remember and certainly further back than that!  I was reared in a home where Christian faith was a vital part of everything we did and my life has been a process of continuing to deepen my relationship with Christ.

How I ended up at SharonThe agency where I did counseling for many years began to change its focus and I chose to leave not knowing where I would serve next – a big risk of faith!  Within the first month I was out of work the position for Associate Pastor opened at Sharon with responsibilities in areas that I very much enjoy.

The most important thing I do around here is:  Listen!

Favorites:

Music:  a little bit of everything, but not rap and hip-hop

Food:  any dessert!

Place to eat:  Lang Van

How I spend my free time:  reading, walking, working out and yoga

Best books I've read recently:  In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan; Life of the Beloved by Henri Nouwen

Prized possession:  my brand new Toyota Prius

Nobody knows that I... am a Bruce Springsteen freak

Hero I'd most like to meet:  the Boss

My vision for the future of Sharon Church is:  My vision for Sharon is that it will continue to grow as a place where all people are welcome and where each person can connect to a full and meaningful life that is possible through a relationship with Christ.

One way folks can pray for me is:  Pray that I will be able to be in tune with God's will for my life and that God will use me to minister to this church and the community beyond.
