I have been married for 46 years to my wife Donna.  We have one daughter Lisa and 4 grandchildren ranging in age from 6 to 21.  I am a founding member of SS Francis & Clare in Greenwood, which was started in 1993.  Donna and I are both active in ministry there.  Donna heads up the Gabriel Project at our parish, and I am a Eucharistic minister both at church, and at Methodist hospital on Mondays.  I am also very active in our food pantry at our church.  I worked at Allison Transmission for 43 years retiring in 2014.  I joined the Serra Club shortly after retirement, and have served as a trustee, VP of Outreach, and am now President of the club.  I joined the club because of the need in our archdiocese for more priests, and religious vocations.  We Serrans do this through daily prayer, active participation with the club activities and also growing in our faith through this fellowship.
