Preston's Story
Life
I was quite a party animal in high school, one of the "freaks", we were called then, as opposed to the "jocks". I spent most of my time in the smoking tunnel or behind the school at the "platform". I moved between SJHS & GFHS (My Mom vs. My Dad)
I spent more time at Garfield, but didn't graduate until later (GED).
At Stonewall, I skipped a lot and went to the mall. Becuase I moved around so much, I didn't get to know too many people, but did have a handful of friends.
Thankfully, I had a drastic turn-around and my life was changed for the better.
I worked for a while before I went to Florida for college in 1983 to study for the ministry. I met my wife there and graduated in '87 at the top of my class. (Quite a change from the pot-smoking goof-off I was in high school). I went into youth ministry in Alabama after college, then later returned to VA. Served as associate pastor ...Expand for more
at Christ Chapel in Woodbridge, VA, then later helped design & develop Hylton Chapel, where I served as Executive Director for its first five years.
In 1998, became financial advisor with Edward Jones Investments. My office is on Devil's Reach Rd in Woodbridge, and I am about to celebrate 10 years there.
Four awesome sons have arrived along the way. (Caleb, 17, Jared, 16, Josiah, 14, Judah, 9) I now live in Stafford on a farmette which is like Woodbridge 30 years ago. My oldest son, Caleb graduated from Fork Union Military Academy with academic distinction in May 2008. Thank God he has not taken too much after his father. He plans on attending my alma mater, Southeastern University, in Lakeland, FL in the Fall.
I count my sons as my greatest accomplishment in life. I am so blessed to have great kids! They are so much better than I was at their age, and better kids than I deserve.
