I grew up in Burlington, Kentucky, and graduated from Conner HS in 1985. Right after high school, I joined the Army where I served almost 7 years. While in the Army, I served half my time as a combat medic--first in Korea, then in Texas. In 1988, the Army put me through nursing school, and I served my remaining time in Washington, D.C. at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Most of that time was served on the pediatric ward. I met my wife, Debbie, while serving at Walter Reed. It was love at first sight; we were married 4 months later. While I was still in the Army, my wife gave birth to our twin boys, Brandon and Brian. After leaving the Army, we returned to Northern Kentucky. I was hired on by Cincinnati Childrens Hospital, and worked there as a home care nurse for 16 years. In 1997, my wife gave birth to our daughter, Tiffany. We currently attend First Church of Christ, Burlington. I am leading a Men’s Life Group on Wednesday evening.

Having moved to KY from CT with his family after teaching music in public schools for 31 years, he was praying that he would find work in support of a Christian ministry. Some friends pointed him to Potter’s Ranch, and he began working there part-time, and soon after full-time. Ted has a heart for camp and retreat ministry, and has served in our food service, maintenance, activities, and housekeeping departments. His favorite thing about working at Potter’s Ranch is seeing God at work when groups, families and individuals come to the ranch for a visit. Ted and his wife, Sharon, have two children - Megan, who volunteers at the Ranch, and Michael. Ted and Sharon are members at Grace Fellowship Church in Florence, KY.
