A few words of introduction ...
I arrived at FPC on August 1, 2004, after having most recently served as Associate Pastor of The Lower Providence PC in Eagleville, PA.I was born in Overlook Hospital, Summit, NJ on November 29, 1969. My undergraduate study was at William Paterson University, where I received a BA in Sociology in 1993.
I was married to Jenny on June 11, 1994. Our daughter Anna is almost nine years old, and her sister, Rebecca, is six (and a half). They are the ones who really run the church! I attended Princeton Theological Seminary, earning a Master of Divinity in 1997.
Growing up, I did not have any church affiliation. I came to discover the Presbyterian Church (USA) during my college years while working as a summer camp counselor at Johnsonburg Presbyterian Camp. I was particularly drawn to the diversity of Presbyterians and to the representative form of church government. I also met Jenny there while we were both serving as retreat leaders.
While many of my generation ("Generation X") regard themselves as "spiritual but not religious," I do not regard the two terms as mutually exclusive. I believe in fostering Christian growth and community by offering multi-generational ministry that respects tradition while also acknowledging our "postmodern" culture.
My favorite passage of the Bible can be found in Mark 5:1-20.
I conclude this sketch by saying I'm a very diehard Philadelphia Phillies baseball fan and I write and perform original music for acoustic guitar. We are currently preparing to release a CD benefiting our 2007 Appalachian Service Project trip. To hear the music now on PureVolume.com please click on the Logo
I also enjoy digital photography (click Here to visit my photo website) but find myself most passionate about preaching and pastoral theology. You can also visit my personal Blog, click Here.
Thanks for allowing me this brief introduction. I pray and hope for the opportunity to get to know you, and to serve with you!
