Family: Pegge and I were married in 1982 and have four sons, Geoff, Cory, Josh, and Nate. Cory is married to Allison and they have four sons, Eli, Kaleb, Caden, and Ezra. Josh is married to MJ and they have four daughters, Bella, Izzy, RuthieBeth, and Abigail.

 

Hobbies: I enjoy making things from wood. I enjoy music and playing piano and guitar (neither particularly well). I enjoy playing with the grandchildren and cooking! I have been homebrewing since 1979.

 

Favorite Bible Verse: Joshua 24:15, "But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

 

Favorite Movie: Shawshank Redemption. Not only do I appreciate the movie, it was filmed at an abandoned state prison in Mansfield, Ohio (Pegge's hometown) while we lived there. I knew several people who appeared in the movie as extras, and I frequently had meetings in the hunting lodge which served as part of the backdrop for a central, early part of the movie.

 

Favorite Book: The Dark Tower series, a set of 7 books by Stephen King.

 

Favorite Food: I particularly enjoy cooking and eating soups and stews.

 

Other Notable/Fun Facts About You: I once hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back up the same day (a very long day). In 1st-5th grade I attended a small rural school with 30 students in grades 1-8. I was second in my class (there were only two of us)!
