Bob and his wife, Cindy, have been attending Fox Valley Church since 2000 and Bob became a member in 2004. They have two married children and are blessed with five grandchildren.

Bob’s spiritual gifts are service, encouragement, and mentoring.

In Bob’s words:  I was blessed with an awesome 42-year career in the Fire Service. Starting out as a firefighter/paramedic and ending as a Chief Officer. During that time I attained a bachelors degree from SIU in Emergency Management and Certification as a Chief Fire Officer. My passion has always been in helping others in their time of need. As I became a Chief Officer I had a heart for mentoring the next generation in leading with a servants heart. I have been blessed to live out Eph 2;10 “For we are the workmanship of God to do good works which He prepared in advance for us to do.” I believe that is why I had so much peace with my job.

My prayer is that God uses me with the spiritual gifts that He has given me to bring a positive influence to the FVC pastoral council. I am humbled to join hands with these God fearing men.
