Dave and Teresa were married in 1981 and traveled the globe with their three children serving in a 32 year career with the U.S. Navy.

During those years of travel all over the globe, they worked in multiple areas of lay ministry and served in leadership positions, in a variety of churches.  They completed the Ministerial Internship Program in 1998 on the island of Oahu, Hawaii.

After retirement from the Navy they lived in Washington D.C., served at Burke Community Church, and were headed towards retirement when God gave the call to Kauai in 2018.

Dave and Teresa were excited to have the opportunity to come back to the islands after 20 years and feel honored to Pastor the Maranatha Church of God and love the people of Kauai.
