Adrian grew up in Oklahoma. He was raised in the farming community of Carnegie in Southwest Oklahoma. He has been “connected” to the United Methodist Church since a child but it wasn't until he was in high school that he gave his life to Christ. Because of his commitment to Christ, he used his gift of leadership to become a vibrant example of allowing Christ to "use you where you are planted".
It was during his early days of college that he began to feel a "call" to full-time service for Christ. After college, Adrian attended Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky receiving a M.Div. and United Theological Seminary in Dayton receiving a D.Min.
Adrian and Beverly have three grown children, Scott, Sarah and Stephanie. Scott is married to Kali and they live in Birmingham, AL. Sarah lives in Baltimore, MD and is marrying Dan Cody in June. Stephanie is married to Paul Zito and they live in Edmond. Beverly teaches the gifted program at Kenneth Cooper Middle School in Oklahoma City.
