Pastor Speckhard graduated from Valparaiso University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Classics (Greek and Latin culture/literature) in 2011. And earned his M.Div at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana, graduating in 2015. Pastor Speckhard grew up the oldest of four with his family in Valparaiso, IN. He met his wife Erika while attending Valparaiso University. They have three great children. In addition to reading and writing, Pastor’s interests and hobbies mostly have to do with sports. He loves to play and watch just about every sport out there — particularly football and hockey. His family has rooted for the Packers, Blackhawks, Cubs, Fighting Irish (football), and Hoosiers (basketball) for about as long as anyone can remember. He loves to play hockey, baseball/softball, basketball, tennis, and golf (He said “though, as a general rule, I am much better at watching than playing”).
