I have been married to Cathy for 30 years. We have 2 grown sons, Joel and Matt, of whom we are very proud. I am an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church where I have served for 31 years. I am also Parko the Clown, which is my mime personna. I have a Doctor of Ministy degree where my topic was Hopeful Worship. I am very interested in the arena of spiritual direction after getting a certification from Boston College. I am a fairly disciplined person, when it comes to prayer, exerciuse, diet, and rest.
