I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a 44 year old married father of four!! I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I am not perfect, just forgiven! Family is my life, but I don't get to see or talk to my older daughters much. One lives in Cocoa Beach, Florida the other in Stafford, Virginia. I take what I can get in way of conversations with them, but I think about them 24-7 and pray that they are making good choices. I love music, especially Comtemporary Christian music. I work for the City of Clearwater and have been there for over 20 years! I work 14 weeks out of the year for United Way of Tampa Bay as a Leadership Executive, on loan from the city during their campaign season and the work I do there is the most meaningful work I have ever been apart of! I share my story on how partner agencies of the United Way helped my family in our time of need and the community impact they make in what they do in the Tampa Bay area! I work with my church, Palm Harbor Community Church, middle school youth group, Wildfire, and I love seeing teens get that spark when the Holy Spirit falls on them and they get it for the first time. Pray for our youth, it is scary for them out there!!! God Bless and enjoy my site!!
