I am a lifelong resident of Highlands County (my paternal grandfather having moved to Sebring in 1915). I served as the youth pastor (and associate pastor) at First Baptist Church of Lake Josephine (located midway between Sebring and Lake Placid) for 17 years and have recently gone back on staff at Sebring Animal Hospital as Practice Manager.Outside of my current church activities and position at Sebring Animal Hospital, I currently serve on the board of directors of the Sebring Historical Society. I am a Disaster Relief volunteer with the Florida Baptist Convention, and I am regularly involved in youth mission efforts (World Changers) of the North American Mission Board, SBC.
