David and his wife Mary moved to the St. Louis area and became members of St. Peter’s in early 2023. After a long career in Energy Services, mostly in Texas, David was recruited to become President of Unico, Inc., an HVAC manufacturer headquartered in Arnold, MO. David grew up in the deep south, and was fortunate to meet the love-of-his-life, a Mid-Western girl from Cincinnati, while both attended the University of Alabama. They have two children: son (Mason) who resides in Austin, Texas, and daughter (Katherine) and son-in-law (Jacob) who live in Boerne, Texas; and they are expecting their first grandchild this summer! David enjoys serving on the St. Peter’s Safety Committee and Building & Grounds Committee, and loves participating in the Wednesday morning bible study. In his spare time, David enjoys golf, hunting, fishing, and spending quality time with family and friends.
I am a St. Louis native and have been coming to St. Peter’s with my family since 2023. I am probably most easily recognized by the flock of children (Walter, Maxine, Clara, Betty, and Stanley) that I am always herding around with my husband, Matt. A nurse practitioner by trade, I worked in clinical psychiatry for about a decade, including service in the Air Force, before switching to academia in 2022. When I am not changing diapers, homeschooling my kids, or grading papers, I like to bake sourdough bread, garden, and read. I am a relentless extrovert with a passion for people and have deeply enjoyed the various ministries I have been involved in at St. Peter’s!
