I was born and grew up in Sandusky, Ohio. I met my wife Michele while attending The Ohio State University. Upon graduation, we married and attended a nondenominational church in Lorain County, Ohio. We owned a small business in Milan, Ohio and sold it in December 2020. We moved to St Augustine, Florida in August 2021. We have been attending LivingStone Church since May 2023. The important scriptures in my life are Matthew 6:33 and John 4:24.
