He has lived in the Chicago area since 1991, with his wife Henrieta and their daughters Laura, Isabella, and Julia. He is a member-at-large of the Chicago Presbytery of the PCUSA, works as a Systems Architect for Experian, and plays music for fun.

It has been so devastating to see the horrors occurring in Gaza since October of 2023. Because EPC has been engaged in so many other missions in our community and abroad, we have not yet done a special collection for this ongoing situation.  We want to remind everyone that supporting Presbyterian Disaster Assistance in times like these is always a good idea.  

PDA has approved solidarity grants and will continue supporting our partners providing humanitarian assistance. Our response efforts will encompass a wide array of vital humanitarian interventions, including but not limited to medical supplies, shelter, WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene), food and non-food items and delivering crucial psychosocial support to individuals.
