Earl is a government IT professional and Patrice is a middle school math teacher.  We have been married for 36 years, and have 2 grown children (28 and 34.)  Our daughter, Elise, is married and has a 5 year old son, and another on the way.  Our son, Earl III, serves at LifePoint in the Sound ministry.  We have served on the Hospitality, Sisterhood and Prayer ministries, as well as leading a life group, teaching classes in LifePoint University and being a member of the LBA at LifePoint.  We mentored our first couple using Prepare Enrich seven years ago.  We believe that pre-marital mentoring is vital to help couples launch into a lifetime together from a foundation of faith in God, an understanding of His principles for marriage and a selfless love for one another.

We have been married for 20 years and have 2 kids, ages 17 (Nicolas) and 1 (Luciana). One of our kids came to us biologically and one through adoption.  We are both originally from Pittsburgh, PA and moved to Maryland for teaching jobs when we got married. Carl is still working for Charles County Public Schools and Melissa stays home with Luci.  Marriage ministry has always been a passion for us as a couple, and we have been involved with marriage mentoring in the past. We are very excited to get back into helping to mentor and encourage healthy, Godly marriages.
