Who I Am... I was born in Rochester, NY, while my dad was finishing up at Colgate Rochester Divinity School. The family soon moved to Ohio where I spent my early years. We came to Florida in 1964 and though our address changed several times, we have remained in the Tampa Bay area. I went through Dunedin Elementary, Junior, & Senior High and after graduation only took another 28 years to obtain my Associates Degree from St. Petersburg College as a Microsoft Office User Specialist. I am currently taking the occasional class at Eckerd College working towards my Bachelor Degree and hope to complete that task before another 28 years slide by! Maureen and I met in 1980 while working at the Bank Restaurant in Clearwater Beach and married in 1981. Shortly thereafter, we were blessed by the birth of our daughter Angela and then son Nathan. As we look forward to celebrating 25 years of marriage, the household is busy getting ready for the arrival of our first grandchild in January! Since circumstances have conspired to place us all under one roof, this wondrous and joyful event has also helped us to hone our skills in creative problem-solving as we face these new challenges to our already hectic household. I am an avid advocate for peace and work closely with Beyond Tolerance, Inc. It is a local peacemaking group that grew from a concept initially discussed at Faith Presbyterian Church in Dunedin, where I was a member since 1972. Some very special times in my life were the opportunity to serve as elder commissioner to the 213th General Assembly (2001) and then to return the next year as an overture advocate. What I Do... As an administrative assistant, part of my responsibility is to help maintain the records for the presbytery. This involves much time on the computer and utilizes many skills I learned earning my degree. I take pleasure in organizing and stream-lining systems and am thoroughly enjoying the challenge of trying to keep up with all the committees and working with the churches in our presbytery. Another part of my responsibility comes in assisting the Executive Staff as they function with committees and in dealing with individual churches. This consists of typing, filing, creating reports, etc., etc. – all the usual office tasks. I have worked with the office staff over the years as an elder at Faith Presbyterian in Dunedin and now have the distinct pleasure (and challenge) of maintaining the high standards expected for our member churches. I look forward to meeting all the members of our presbytery and will try to answer any questions that you may have. While I might not have an answer to your question immediately, I pledge to work with the other staff to come up with the answer as quickly as possible. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you and can be reached at mwebb@pbty.com or by calling 1-800-733-7889. |
