Greg and Katie were married in May of 2001. They met while working Senior High Week at Tidewater Christian Service Camp (Camp Rudolph), and they both attended Roanoke Bible College. Katie graduated in 2001 with a degree in Elementary Education and Counseling, and continued teaching kindergarten while Greg finished his degree in Youth Ministry, finally graduating in May 2002.

After graduation, Greg and Katie moved back to Yorktown, Virginia to join the work being done at Northhampton Church of Christ in Hampton. While Greg worked with the youth of Northhampton, Katie taught first grade and kindergarten. They welcomed Gracie into their family following Katie's fourth year of teaching kindergarten. When Katie returned, she taught one year of second grade until they welcomed Claire into their family.

Greg and his family have recently moved to New Bern and are very excited to be apart of the ministry at Two Rivers Church. Greg's genuine love of people helps him build relationships that will lead others to a true relationship with Christ.
