Jeff was born in Jacksonville, Florida on June 20, 1959... the same birthday as the state of West Virginia, only 96 years later! He is the son of a Southern Baptist Pastor and so he has literally been involved and around ministry all his life. At the age of 15 he began leading worship in his father's church and in 1977 he surrendered his life to full-time ministry. Throughout the years he has served as Senior Pastor, Associate Pastor, Worship Pastor, Minister of Music, Youth Pastor and many other leadership roles in ministry... He has served here at First Family as our Co-Pastor since March 2003. He and his wife, Lynn were married in August 1993 and they have three girls.
