Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ! I have been the pastor at Clove Valley Alliance Church since August of 2002. I share the ministry here with my wife, Susie, my son, Nathanael, my daughter, Kedrah, and my mother, Mary Jane. We live in the parsonage, which is located on the same property as the church.

Being a pastor is a new role for me. Until 2002, I worked as a research engineer and engineering adjunct faculty at Penn State University. God has gifted me primarily in teaching, preaching, and counseling.

I have a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Florida, a Master of Divinity from Columbia International University, and a Master of Engineering in Acoustics from Penn State University. For additional information about my past activities, please see my ministry resume and my engineering resume.

Personally, I enjoy several sports, particularly racquetball and pool (currently rated a 6 in APA 8-ball), and play a little guitar (a hacker). But my first love is the study of the Bible. Before I became a pastor, I had been devoting myself to Bible study and teaching as a lay person for twenty years.

We at Clove Valley Alliance Church are committed to:

• Knowing Jesus Christ and making Him known in our community and around the world.
• The equipping of each believer for the ministry to which God has particularly called her or him.
• Ministering to the felt and real needs of our community in the name of Jesus Christ.
• Helping parents train and equip their children to live in a difficult world.

If these commitments resonate with yours, we would be delighted to join with you as you seek to fulfill them!
