Timothy's Story
September 2011
After high school, I completed my BS in Meteorology from Penn State in 1982.
Since the weather is not always easy to predict, I decided to pray for it.
I entered Trinity Lutheran Seminary in Columbus, Ohio and received a Masters of Divinity in 1989. As part of that degree process, I spent a year of internship in Cando, North Dakota - a complete 180 degree experience from Spring Hill and the North Side!
I met my wife Monica (West Mifflin 1980) on a bus trip to a youth gathering in Denver - we were both counselors for our youth groups.
We married in 1986 and just celebrated our Silver anniversary. Our two children are wonderful (would you expect a parent to say anything else?). Our daughter is a junior at West Chester University near Philadelphia working on her Music Education degree as a voice major (anyone remember our music teachers Mr. Bullock or Mr. Dunmire or Mrs. Bickle from Latimer).

occer, piano, and the trombone (of course not at the same time).
I'm an ordained Lutheran minister and am currently serving as Assistant to the Bishop and Director for Evangelical Mission of the Allegheny Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) here in the Altoona, Johnstown, State College, Dubois area of Pennsylvania.
My first call in 1989 was to a congregation in Johnstown, PA. My second call was to a congregation in Martinsburg, PA in 1994. (Martinsburg is SO different in the North Side - the cows seem to outnumber the people!) My current call with the bishop began in 2009.
WeâÂÂve hosted two exchange students over the years and enjoyed visiting with them on a family trip this past summer to Finland and Germany. The greatest part of the trip was visiting MonicaâÂÂs aunts, uncles and cousins in Germany who she hadnâÂÂt seen since before we were married.
GodâÂÂs peace to all!
If you ever get to Altoona, give me a call!
