Family Interests
I am married to Coleen for 33 years and have a son, Shane, and daughter-in-law, Elizabeth.
Hobbies and Interests
I am cursed. There are too many things that I like to do. I like to paint, watch football, study architecture, design things, build things, etc. Currently, I hope to get TC science majors to do some water treatment research that I am interested in. Also, I am writing an Easter opera which from the way I am going will take me the next 25 years to finish.
What do you love about being part of Tabor?
Coleen and I have adopted Tabor students for the last twelve years. During that time, we have gone to countless athletic events, recitals, plays, musicals, read formals, and hosted countless dinners for our adopted “kids”. We couldn’t help but fall in love with Tabor College and the students. I feel privileged to be a part of the team that helps these students to be a part of Christ and His Kingdom.
