Please share your family details with us and how long you’ve been a member at St. Peter’s.

Please identify which positions you are currently serving in and/or any positions you’ve served in previously at St. Peter’s, previous churches, or any other community groups.

I am currently serving as an elder. I have held this position for 11 years and wish to continue this service. I help oversee the WORSHIP services, including the Christmas decorations. From 2012-2018, I served in the Day School Board. 

I currently serve in various roles of the Isaac Knapp and Indiana Dental Associations. These include: editor, photographer and advertising chair of the IK newsletter; delegate of the Indiana Dental Association.

Please share with us what interests you about serving in this position.

I am passionate about the ministries here at St. Peter’s. My wife and I try to be great role models for our two boys. I believe serving the Church is a very rewarding experience. The personal fulfillment I receive from volunteering greatly outweighs the time and sacrifice given to our Church here at St. Peter’s.
