What led you to (and keeps you in) ministry?
Experiencing the church as a loving family proving to me God’s unconditional love.

What led you to (and keeps you at) Noblesville First?
The Indiana Conference Cabinet believed my gifts fit best the needs of Noblesville First UMC in 2015. I love the spirit of this congregation that wishes to serve our community and enjoy being part of a church staff that is passionate about impacting lives.

What do you like most about Noblesville?
I love the combination of a small-town community feel but all the amenities of a large city nearby.   I’ve been so impressed with the leadership in this community that works hard to make this a wonderful place to live.

What do you like most about Noblesville First?
We have such gifted and intelligent leadership. I’ve always hated church meetings until I came here. I now get to work with some of the most talented people in the state of Indiana.
