About Me

Name:
Location: Jacksonville, Illinois, United States

An Intentional Interim Minister is a pastor who serves congregations who are going through periods of heavy transition prior to calling a new settled pastor. I am ordained into the church through the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The best part is that I get to watch congregations grow and rediscover the excitement and vitality of "being church"! It also is nice that I get to move every 12 to 24 months to yet a new part of the country with new roads and new local cuisine.

My first ever Saddle Sore 1000

My first ever Saddle Sore was done in September of '05. It was here that I caught the long distance riding bug. I rode just over 1000 miles in exactly 24 hours. I did learn a very valuable lesson. Never ride with a non-Long Distance Rider on an Iron Butt qualifying ride. I finally abandoned him for the last three hours as he decided to take another 30 minute coffee break on the road.

My route took me from west/central Illinois to Memphis, TN then west to Possum Kingdom, TX.
