David J. Claassen

I'm a part-time writer and enjoy putting words together in both fiction and non-fiction expressions. I served as Sr. Pastor of the Mayfair-Plymouth Congregational Church of Toledo, Ohio, retiring in my 40th year of ministry at the church, the only church I served during my pastoral career. I have been married to Diann since 1972 and we have two grown children. We divide our time between living near our son and his family in the Tampa, Florida area and our daughter and her family in Mexico where she is a missionary. I enjoy photography and offer some of my work on a web site that sells stock photography. Ventriloquist is another one of my hobbies. I also enjoy maintaining a decorative pond at both our Florida and our Mexico homes. Visit my web site at www.daveclaassen.com
