STAFF
Originally from
Vernon, Texas (50 miles West of Wichita Falls or 8 miles Northeast of
Lockett), Greg is no stranger to Texas Tech. After four years from 1984 to
1988, Greg graduated with a B.S. in Animal Business. It was during this time
that Greg started to attend the Wesley Foundation and eventually began a new
relationship with Christ. Two of his cousins invited him to start coming to
Wesley and he also started hanging around with folks from Farm House
Fraternity in 1986. As Greg puts it, "The rest is all Jesus."
Greg and his wife, Jen, have
one daughter, Ellie
Kay. She is a cutie and the parents will tell you that she is the prettiest
girl in the world.
Among Greg's favorite hobbies are racquetball, golf, gardening, snow skiing,
and traveling. You can usually find Twizzlers in his pantry along with
sushi in the fridge, hot tamales in the oven, and red velvet cake for dessert.
Although he collected autographs, football cards and coins in Junior high, the
only thing he collects now are the new state quarters.
While growing up, Annette had a goldfish named,
Vern. He’s dead now but her love of the area in which she and Vern grew up,
is not. Annette was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania at Holy Spirit
Hospital. For nine years Pennsylvania was the beauty in which she and her
older brother, James, grew up. Slightly before middle school her family
moved from Pennsylvania to Chattanooga, TN where she enjoyed playing soccer
and hanging out with friends. Annette loves sports (GO PENN STATE) and has
enjoyed hiking and skiing the picturesque mountains and lakes of east
Tennessee. Carson-Newman College, nestled right
near Knoxville and Gatlinburg, TN, is her alma mater. At Carson-Newman,
Annette majored in Pre-Med and played soccer for one season. After college
Annette went on several medical mission trips to Romania.
Her life took a different direction after those trips. The
realization that someone could go to hell for all of eternity even though
they received great medical care brought Annette to the realization that her
passion was in caring for people’s souls.
Soon after these trips Annette began seminary at Asbury
Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky where she experienced deep inner
healing, wholeness, rich friendship, grace, and a theological foundation
upon which she could continue to learn.
Annette has always had a love for reading and distaste for
red beets. (She once had to consume homemade red beets while in
Romania!) Healthy living is also a priority for her. Snickers and sour patch
kids are her favorite treat and if you found her at Starbucks, she would be
drinking a _mocha frappuccino with no whip cream. Annette enjoys Mexican and
Italian food but does not enjoy shopping. Her simplistic lifestyle does not
lend itself to the collection of anything…except perhaps pictures.
Annette loves
preaching and is drawn to pastoral counseling.
An alumni
of Texas Tech, Dallas has been on staff here at the Wesley Foundation since
2001. He has been leading worship since his early days in youth group
(gasp) in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Dallas began singing in public in
church and with his Grandma’s band when he was 8 years old. Since those
early days Dallas has picked up the piano, keyboards, drums, a few brass
instruments, kazoo, and guitar. Originally from Denver City, Texas (80
miles southwest of Lubbock), he now resides in the LBK with his beautiful
wife Kacey (which he met at this here fine campus ministry) and their
awesome kids, Abby and Will. Dallas is also a former Wesleyite and his time
here has given him the desire to minister to students like he received while
at Tech and the Wesley
Besides collecting coins, Dallas enjoys playing all kinds of guitars,
cooking, playing tennis, playing fantasy sports and watching football. He is
an avid softball player and is passionate about chips and salsa and good
Mexican food. Dallas loves growing his hair out long and then cutting it
all off just for shock value. He loves Texas and can tell you some dumb
trivia that you might not know about it. When he isn’t reading staff books
and getting real spiritual, he loves to watch reruns of Beavis and Butthead
while checking his MySpace and eating tacos from the Bueno.
Penny is from Lockney, Texas
originally and now resides in Lubbock with her husband Michael and their two 8
year old daughters Stephanie and Bethany.
After attending Wayland Baptist College and West Texas State University (now
West Texas A&M), Penny found the Wesley Foundation. "I painted the intern
office with my S.S. Class, a job opening became available, and I was given the
job. Through many prayers and struggles, it was a long awaited job and I have
seen God's grace by receiving it."
Among her favorite hobbies are playing piano and singing as well as spending
time with her family. She also collects precious Moments and anything with
hearts on it. When not making or enjoying her favorite Pecan, Millionaire, or
Italian Creme Pie, you can usually find vanilla and regular Dr. Pepper,
Snickers, Butterfingers, M&M's, or French Vanilla Cappuccino in her office.
