David and Zoe Anne have a daughter, Merritt and a son, Hunter.
David brings a well rounded view of the Christian life to First Presbyterian Church. He enjoys sports of all kinds and is an avid skier, snow and water. He and Zoe Anne enjoy scuba diving, hiking, and camping and look forward to sharing these adventures with their children as they grow. They enjoy movies, a hand of cards, dinner parties, and honest conversation. What they enjoy most about these activities are the opportunities they open for new friendships. As they join with our congregation in the ministries of the church, they want to be an active part of the ministry of fun and recreation.
Zoe Anne is a graduate of Davidson College and also a graduate of Columbia Theological Seminary. After working full-time as the youth minister, children's minister, and educator, she now spends her time at Southern Pines Primary as the kindergarten tutor, volunteering in Merritt and Hunter's classrooms, and volunteering at the hospital as a chaplain associate. Her interests include horses, sailing, tennis, running, reading, and arts and crafts. She looks forward to finding new running buddies and tennis partners, as well as cultivating new friendships in Kingsport.
Merritt loves to read and write short stories. She's active in gymnastics on the pre-competitive team and is a gold belt in Tae Kwon Do. She loves her dogs (Bud and Bohicket), climbing trees, picking up frogs, chasing lizards, and playing with Hunter. She is a kind and compassionate little girl.
Hunter is also in gymnastics and is a yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do; currently working on his gold belt. He loves basketball, golf, baseball, skateboards, bikes, and unfortunately, TV. He has a quick sense of humor that keeps us on our toes. He also loves our dogs and enjoys learning about exotic animals in his zoo magazine and on Discovery Channel.
