Tell us about your family.

Carolyn (my wife) is the Director of Human Resources and Development for the O’Toole family (Homemaker). She is very passionate about her relationship with God, loves the church and its ministry. She is a born leader and excels at anything she sets her mind to. You couldn’t ask for a better friend.

Alysha (my oldest daughter) is in grade 10. She is beautiful and brilliant. She loves hanging out with her friends on MSN.

Karissa (The Middle Child) is in grade 8. She is a social butterfly and loves younger children. She has an amazing smile and is my motive for planning to buy a shotgun in a few years.

Jenica (youngest daughter) is in grade 6. Plays sports better than most boys. Loves hockey and the Detroit Redwings as much as I do. Would love to have a snake (over my dead body).

How did you get involved with BVCC?

I became a Christian at BVCC through the Senior High Youth Ministry in 1983. Carolyn and I were married here in 1989. BVCC was our home church until we left for College in 1990. Returning to Bow Valley in 2002 was truly a homecoming for my family.
