Robert was born and raised in Dunedin, FL where vowing to never move where there is snow. After dedicating his life to the Lord in 2007, he was delivered from self hate, anger, depression, then quickly began to see God changing his heart towards people. Rachel, born in Lancaster, PA and raised in central New York on a dairy farm, was saved as a child. After walking away from the things of God she rededicated her life back to Jesus as a late teen. Leaving family and following God, she went to Florida on a travel nursing assignment in January, 2011. Rachel went to Rock Church of Tampa Bay in Oldsmar for Sunday service, where she met Robert after service at lunch, and married later that same year.

They have served faithfully in many ministries at their time at the Rock Church of Tampa Bay. Together, they bring a unique approach to worship, living and walking in Holy Spirit, and having the reverence for the Word of God. In 2021 Robert and Rachel, by the leading of the Holy Spirit, moved to Quarryville to be planted in the area and received continued discipleship from their Pastor, Rev. Brian Burgee. Rock Church of Lancaster County is currently having home meetings as well as Sunday services in home, and are in continued prayer to add to their church family and a church building.

Robert and Rachel are bi-vocational working full time in Lancaster County. Robert works for a Amish shed/garage company as a bookkeeper, and project manager. Rachel (a board certified family nurse practitioner) is currently a practical nursing instructor at a local technical school.
