I am so excited to serve as pastor at Belmont UMC. My journey to this church has included 30 years working with the Virginia Department of Forestry. I graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in forestry and wildlife. I attended Union Presbyterian Seminary and obtained a Masters of Divinity there. My wife MaryKaye and I have been married for 34 years. MaryKaye serves as Executive Administrator for the United Methodist church’s Three Notch’d District. We have three adult children, Jason, Samuel and Lauren. We enjoy camping in our teardrop trailer which we named “Valerie”. The name came from the song “Valerie” by Steve Winwood. We also enjoy hiking in the state parks of Virginia and serving on United Methodist Volunteers in Missions teams to Cuba.
