Beth CrawfordOFFICE MANAGER
Beth Crawford contact

In my looong and varied career, I have been (among other things) an accounting clerk, an Administrative Secretary, an Office Manager with a staff of five, the editor of a state-wide trade magazine, an AVP in the IT division of a bank, with a staff of 33.  I have been laid off because of downturns in the economy and because the jobs of those working for me were "outsourced".  I've lost money in the dot-com crisis and in the current economic "downturn".  I work because I need the money, but also because, while I have hobbies and other interests, I like to keep busy and keep my brain active.

He has always had a love for the church, a connection which bridges his personal spirituality and scholarship. Stuart has participated in mission trips across SC and to West Virginia, Connecticut, Florida, and Paris, France. Those expeditions coupled with an immersion in Romania and subsequently London, England, have fueled his passion for travel.
