Andrew, his wife Laura, their son Seth, and daughter Karsyn moved back to Clifton in 2007.  Andrew has a Bachelor's Degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry, and is an independant contractor in the field of Clinical Research.  Laura has a Bachelor's Degree in Education, and is a 4th grade Science Teacher at Clifton ISD.  The two of them enjoy spending time with their children; playing sports, video games with Seth, and biking with Karsyn.  They also enjoy Date Night, which is typically dinner and a movie.

A dream of Andrew's will be realized this Summer (2016) as he and Laura plan to take Seth to Haiti to expose him to the mission field.  Andrew looks forward to participating in a life-altering experience of Kingdom work. 

Andrew is presently our Worship Leader and has an interest in furthering that service by teaching others to lead.  Other goals are growing and developing strong relationships with other brothers and sisters that will last a lifetime.
