Mike Caldwell

Mike is married to the most wonderful (sorry Nate, can't be you) person named Amy. She was his Bible study leader in college and they spent a lot of time studying Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy together (seriously). Amy still remembers the material; Mike only remembers that he still really loves Amy almost 10 years later.
Mike currently works part-time for a big company creating layers of bureaucracy; i.e., making sure everybody has eight bosses. He also takes some classes at Trinity (they don't offer Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy so he's studying God). In his free time he likes to eat good food, watch movies, eat bad food, play sports, eat dark chocolate, and have fun with military stuff (museums, books, toys, video games, etc.). 

• Favorite Hangout: My basement.
• Favorite Movie: thinks it is Top Gun (actual favorite is Saving Private Ryan or Good Will Hunting).
• Favorite Band: thinks it is Poor Old Lu (actually listens to Shane & Shane much more)
• Favorite Ice Cream: Chocolate-Peanut Butter
• Before I die: Go to Australia and/or New Zealand.
• Most Embarrassing Moment: Getting trapped inside a desk in college (yes, it's possible).

Nathan Wagner

The fact of the matter is that Nathan “married up” when he married his high school love, Anna.  Nathan and Anna have been married for six years now and have two kids to show for it: a daughter, Kate, now 3, and a son, Matthew, almost 1. In his free time he likes to play hockey, spend time with his family, read picture books, and throw frisbee golf discs into the river (not on purpose).

• Favorite Hangout: Caribou…but I don’t like coffee, go figure
• Favorite Movie: Mr. Bean. Probably because our IQ’s are so similar.
• Favorite Band: Delirious?
• Before I die: Utter some famous last words – still working on that one
• Most Embarrassing Moment: You think I would actually put this on the web???

ANN Schwaar

Hi!  I’m Ann Schwaar.  I’m married (since 1985!  You do the math!) to the adorable Tim Schwaar—the power-drummer, worship leader, elder (old and wise), and all around wonderful guy.  We have lived in several parks (Oak Park, Rogers Park, and North Park) before settling in Mundelein near the Parks, who live down the street.  We have five very amazing children:  Lauren (17), Kimberly (15), Theresa (13), Ryan (11), and Christopher (soon to be 8).  We have home-schooled for many years.  I love reading to and learning with my children, seeing God move in fun ways, hanging out with people, singing, writing songs, worshiping with little ones and big ones, anything on the water, working outside, God’s amazing creation, being a part of CYT or other musical-theater-y things, and helping people with our home-based business.
