Bob graduated from Atlanta Christian College in 1972.  Bob had previously served as senior minister in 3 churches and became pastor of Living Waters Bible Church in October of 2021. Bob also has owned a business and sold real estate for about 15 years.  Bob and his wife, Laurie, felt led by God to move to this area in August of 2020 to start a business in Townsend, TN, called Smoky Mountain 4x4's and More, which He has richly blessed.   They were uncertain if this was the only reason God had led them here and it became clear that it wasn't.  After receiving an invitation from the church to serve and praying about the opportunity, Bob and Laurie both believe that God confirmed it was His will for them to accept the invitation.
