Introduction	I am married, 13 years to my wonderful wife Paula. Sometimes I wonder how she has put up with me and my crazy schedule. We are learning to play tennis and she is working on a nursing degree. We have three great, mischievious, energetic boys--Ian, Gavin, and Keegan. Ian will be in second grade. Gavin will be in Kindergarten and Keegan is in preschool. I have been a youth pastor for 11 years and recenlty took a Sr. Pastor position with First Baptist Church in Lockport, NY.
