Our Team

I grew up in Chicago and have lived in the NW suburbs of Chicago for the past 35 years. In 1986, at the age of 27 I accepted Christ as my Savior in the very building that Redemption now calls home. Some of the ministries I've served in include: Awana, Children's, and Youth. I’ve also served as both a deacon and elder at various times. I had the privilege of serving the Lord as a Pastor for 13 years (children's/youth/camp). I've been married to my incredible wife, Colette, for 40 years. We have 5 children and 10 grandchildren. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, home projects, adventures with my wife and time with my family.
