I know your wondering about my last name, it means "proud warrior". OK, I'm kidding. It literally means "by the canal" but it kind of lacks something.
I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and went to SUNY Albany where my eyes were opened to salvation and the glorious grace of God. During the last semester of college I felt a calling to go to seminary and that is how I ended up in Massachusetts. Although I treasure my seminary education, I have learned even more about being a part of Christ's church at 7 Mile Road. I have been privileged to lead the middle school and high school youth group for Forestdale Church and 7 Mile Road for the past three years. My heart's cry for our kids is that, from their youth they would own their own faith and be life long followers of Jesus Christ.
The past three years has been a great ride. Along the way God brought me a wonderful, caring wife to lock arms with. We are anxiosusly waiting to join the Philadelphia plant as soon as God will allow us.
