Since the inauguration of the program in 2005, St. Paul's Fellowship of labor has been a great source of inspiration for me.  Truly an elevating experience, SPFL has offered me an opportunity to strengthen my understanding and appreciation of the richness of history and beauty of Orthodoxy.  Elevating my involvement and activity throughout the synod,  I have continue to appreciate my role within it as an active member and no longer as one in waiting.  It is my hope that through the guidance, prayer, and leadership of our laity and clergy that we might continue to strengthen our bonds to one another and to Holy Orthodoxy.  A student of business and entrepreneurship, I have found the time I have invested in this program to be most rewarding and a continual source of satisfaction and peace for me.  A proud owner of Absolute Creo LLC ice cream truck company, this program along with other ventures have contributed to my ability to act within the diocese and my parish of the Three Pillars of Orthodoxy in an enthused and optimistic manner for it's potential growth and continual development.  I wish myself good health and Godspeed.
