Richard and his wife have been married for 31 years and are blessed with two sons, four daughters, 17 grandchildren, one great-grandson, and four sons-in-law. They enjoy taking walks together, cheering on their grandchildren at sporting events, and serving in several ministries. They especially enjoy mentoring teenage parents through Parent Life, as well as serving at VBS and Kairos. Richard also enjoys working on cars, and they both love learning and growing in their understanding of the Bible.
Rapha has played a meaningful role in their marriage journey.
Early in Rapha’s history, they attended a marriage class during a difficult season and learned practical ways to strengthen and restore their relationship. Since then, they have continued investing in their marriage through additional classes and retreats—both as participants and as volunteers. They believe that through God’s grace and the ministry of Rapha, marriages can be restored and strengthened.
