 Bob has served on the staff of United Methodist Churches in St. Petersburg,
Ft. Lauderdale, Lakeland and Tampa for the past 30 years.  Sometimes referred
to as “Mr. Methodist” he has done almost every job in the church except playing
the organ…but that is his favorite music to hear! 

He graduated with a degree in Education
(English and journalism) and taught in a
public high school for 4 years.  He has
worked in full time Christian ministry ever
since. His years were spent in Youth
Ministry, as well as Church Administration,
and as a full time Missions and Outreach
Director. He is active in United Methodist
District and Conference Ministries and is
a member of several Boards.

Bob’s main passion is helping others through the love of Christ and His church.
He spent summers (while in college and teaching) directing centers for the
Appalachia Service Project, has worked in many local outreach ministries, and
worked with AIDS orphans and vulnerable children in South Africa.  He believes
every person is called by God to help be the “hands and feet of Jesus” and he will
help each member find his/her place to serve.
