He completed coursework towards a degree in Jazz Composition at Roosevelt University. He also has performed on both piano and organ with the Kankakee Valley Symphony Orchestra.
Diane serves as our Office Manager. She performs all the administrative duties in the church office as well as financial recording and payroll for both the church and preschool. She studied Accounting at Illinois State University. When not in the office you will find her enjoying her grandson, involved with her horses-a passion she shares with her daughter-or cheering on the Chicago Blackhawks or the Chicago White Sox! Her and her husband Joe were blessed with one child. Their daughter Nikky, her husband Dan and their son Luke are also members of Trinity.
