Diane’s skill and tenderness in working with young children stems from a 33-year career as a public school kindergarten teacher. Although she has no formal training in music, her love for children and her presentation of song captivates the little ones. Some of their preparation begins in Children’s Church which Diane coordinates. She and Pastor Mike work hard to create a church that truly welcomes children, believing that “to such belongs the kingdom of God.”

Following in their mother’s footsteps, youngest son, Joe, is a sixth grade teacher in Reynoldsburg, and their oldest son, Andy, is an eighth grade teacher in Denver.
