TVC Responsibilities:
I keep TVC’s buildings, utilities, and property operational by repairing them in-house or working with contractors. I respond to ministry requests and complete setups and teardowns according to event schedules.

When and how did the Lord save you?
In 1977, at the invitation of my girlfriend (now wife) I started to attend a small SBC church in rural southern Illinois. In December of that year, at the age of 21, I was alone in my apartment contemplating the sermons I had heard and questioning where I was headed with my life. I fell to my knees and confessed to God that I didn’t understand all that I had been hearing but that I believed in Him and trusted Him with my life.

When did you come to TVC and what brought you here?
I came here when visiting my son who lived in the area. I moved here in 2014 and joined soon after. I came on staff in January 2021.
