    I started working at MUMC in 1996.  Over the years I’ve advanced from secretary to the Director of Outreach and Director of There’s Enough.  Both jobs are awarding and challenging.  My husband Bob and I have been married 39 years with one son who has blessed us with 5 grandchildren.  I love Michigan Football, basketball and will always root for the Lions.  I also enjoy singing in the modern worship band, and just being there whenever I’m needed to assist those seeking God in worship.

    ROB@UMCMARSHALL.ORG

    Rob has had a life saturated with music since a young age.  He has played piano for over 20 years, expanded his musical abilities and understanding by participating in his school choir groups, vocal jazz ensemble, and A.P. and independent studies of music theory. Though piano and singing have played a large role in Robert’s life, he would tell you that guitar is where his true passion lies. Through dedication and hard work, at the age of 15 he was able to teach himself how to play the guitar within just a few months, quickly falling in love with fingerstyle playing. Outside of music he has a wonderful wife and daughter and in May of 2021 he accepted the position of Modern Music Worship Director.
