Dear Parent, I was born in the town of Defiance, Ohio to Larry and Carol Font.
Defiance is a small community located in Northwestern Ohio.
It is here that I had my beginnings and started my journey of faith. My parents were both Lutheran, even though my father was raised Catholic, and chose to send me to a Lutheran school until eighth grade. I can remember many special memories from my days at St. John Lutheran School, but I think I remember the special times of sharing Jesus and discussing what it meant to be a Lutheran the most. These discussions kept popping into my mind as I attended a public high school, and had to make many difficult decisions. The faith that I had developed thanks to my parents, grandparents, and the staff at St. John kept growing through high school.
