Besides hunting and fishing, I enjoy learning how to fly-fish and tie flies, listening to AM & SW radio, and just being in the woods.
I earned a Geology, BS from Clarion University of PA, and attended classes at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary for a time. Currently I'm not serving any church on a regular basis, however, I do some preaching periodically.
Some of my hobbies include: playing harmonica, guitar, and keyboard. I'm not very good at any of that, but it's fun for me. I also enjoy gardening.
Probably the greatest impact on my life has been the battle with Crohn's disease since 1983. Although I was born with Spina Bifida, my case is mild compared to many of my constituents.
Nonetheless, my personal experiences as a patient and the impact of poor health in my pursuit of happiness has served to inform and deepen my perspective as one who ministers to those persons, who-as I am, continue to live with the eternal hope of one day being free from this mortal body.
