children. She recently taught tennis to homeschooled children and Gold
Cup Tennis to middle and high school students.

University, Wesleyan College, Villanova University, University of Richmond,
University of Virginia, and University of Delaware. He is scheduled to

Interests – Sports (golf, tennis, bowling) as well as rooting for the Philly sports teams and
Eastern, Lehigh, and Villanova Universities’ sports teams; Music (singing,
and I hope to get back to my trumpet; I played in the Eastern College
band many years ago while teaching at Radnor High School); Fixing things
(this probably stems from my background in engineering).
Denominational background – I grew up in the Lutheran Church, but I also attended United Church
of Christ services regularly. Since then, I have attended regularly and/or
been a member of Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Lutheran, and
non-denominational Churches. I am currently a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran
Church in Lionville.
