  • jrwarden@stannes-annapolis.org

    Member of St. Anne's Since: 2000

    Occupation: Attorney

    Present work in church: St. Anne’s representative to the Lighthouse Board of Advisors, Annual Women’s Retreat committee, Lay Reader, Member of Emmaus, Backpack Buddies Volunteer coordinator.

    Biography: I have been following Jesus since the age of 13. My early childhood did not include church attendance or any religious instruction. But this changed when my parents became Christians and we joined an evangelical church when I was in the 6th grade. This represented a fundamental change in our daily lives. As a family we became very involved in church activities - my father became a worship (music) leader and my siblings and I were very active in youth group, Sunday school and our church’s K-12 school. I attended Gordon College, a small Christian liberal arts college in Massachusetts. After college, I spent a year in Zimbabwe, Africa volunteering at an orphanage and then attended Notre Dame Law School where I met my husband, Doug, who grew up attending St Anne’s. Doug and I moved to Washington, DC after law school where I spent 15 years working on education policy for Congress and the federal government. We moved to Annapolis in the summer of 2000 and began attending St. Anne’s. Our oldest child, Baillie (18), was baptized at St Anne’s in 2002. For a variety of reasons we attended another church in Annapolis for about 6 years but returned to St Anne’s when Amy Richter became Rector. Our other two children, Claire (13) and Robbie (16), have also been baptized at St. Anne’s. I am so grateful for the wonderful community of St Anne’s which has encouraged Doug and I as we’ve raised our children and helped our whole family grow in our faith.

    Member of St. Anne's Since: 2005

    Occupation: Attorney

    Present work in church: Served on most recent Rector Search Committee; currently serving on the St. Anne’s Transformation Team.

    Biography: I was born in Virginia and grew up in South Carolina. After getting my undergraduate degree in Chemistry from Georgia Southern University, I moved back to Virginia and obtained a Masters in Chemistry from Virginia Tech. My husband, Tom, is also a Virginia Tech alum, which makes football Saturdays in our house much easier. In 2001, after graduate school, Tom and I got married and moved to Maryland. I taught in the Chemistry Department at The Catholic University of America while going to law school there at night. I practiced law at a large international firm for twelve years and now work as an in-house attorney at McKesson Corporation.

    After looking for a church family for a while and never quite finding the right fit, Tom and I began attending St. Anne’s in 2004 and felt at home right away. We got to know folks at St. Anne’s and fell in love with the community. After living in Laurel for several years, Tom and I moved to Annapolis in 2011 and have been in the St. Anne’s “neighborhood” ever since.

Vestry Members

  • Member of St. Anne's Since: birth (adult member since 2010)

    Occupation: Museum Collections Database Administrator at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum

    Present Work in church: Co-chair of the Truth & Reconciliation Ministry, outgoing Clerk of the Vestry

    Biography: grew up in the Annapolis area and have attended St. Anne’s all my life, with a few breaks for college and graduate school. I sang in the St. Anne’s junior choir as a child under the direction of John Cooper- I still remember those days of running around St. Anne’s as a kid with great fondness. In confirmation class in 2000 Meg Kimble told me, “God gave you a brain, and He expects you to use it.” This message has stayed with me, and remains a key reason why I’ve felt at home in the Episcopal Church. Questioning can be a powerful tool in the exploration of faith, and I’m glad there’s room for it in our tradition.

    After receiving a bachelor’s degree from Hiram College in Ohio and master’s degree in continental philosophy at DePaul University in Chicago, I changed directions completely and went to work for the Smithsonian in 2010. It turns out that material culture and the stories you can tell with it is the perfect niche for me, and I have been the Collections Database Administrator at the National Postal Museum for the past five years.

  • Member of St. Anne's Since: 2016

    Occupation: Journalist

    Present work in church: Clerk of Vestry, 2019- Co chair of Communications Evangelism Ministry and Back-to-School Backpack Ministry. Coordinator of virtual Evening Prayer since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Active in altar service. Reconciliation Ministry. Forum Committee.

    Biography: I am a longtime Washington-based journalist and former newspaper reporter and am currently the executive senior editor at Communications Daily. My wife Mary Greczyn and I moved to Annapolis in 2019 from Laurel, in part to be closer to St. Anne’s. After our first trip to Israel, we came away with a burning conviction we needed to make a much bigger commitment to dedicating our lives to Christ and to service. We have been active in church since. I am a returning Episcopalian. We also attend Church on the Square in Baltimore on Saturdays, virtually since March. That church is a joint venture of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland and the ELCA and a kind of testbed for reaching younger people who too often today are reluctant to become involved with a church.

  • Member of St. Anne’s since: 1992

    Occupation: Attorney in Private Practice – in the retirement process

    Present work in church: Welcome Minister, and share Lector assignments with Ariel

    Biography: My wife Ariel and I were married in 1992 and moved to Annapolis. St. Annes has been central to our lives since then. Our two children started attending St. Annes the week after they were born. I treasure the friends, community, and spiritual presence at St. Annes and pledge to support and strengthen those essential features of our parish as a member of the Vestry.

    I have a lengthy history of leadership positions and participation. In the early 1990’s, Ariel and I were co-chairs of the Steeple People, the middle school youth group of that time. In the mid 1990’s, I assisted in the selection of associate clergy. Throughout the 1990’s, Ariel and I led the Young Adults group, which fostered community spirit and ran social events for the parents of young children. In the mid 1990’s, I was vice-chairperson of the Stewardship Committee, a role which evolved into membership on the Capital Campaign Committee (originally focused on raising funds for the Undercroft), and then eventually into Co-Chairmanship with Bill Wilbert of the RENEX Committee (Renovations and Expansion Committee) from approximately 1998 to 2004, which organized and managed all aspects of the Parish renovations. From 1995 to 2005, Ariel and I helped operate the Children’s Liturgy program, conducted in the back of the church during the mid-morning Sunday service, and I served as chairperson of the Childhood Education Board and the Youth Minstry Committee.

    From 2007 to 2009 I served on the Rector Search Committee. From 2010 to 2014, I served on the Vestry. In 2017, I was a member of the Parish’s Facility Use Committee, In 2018 I chaired the Parish Profile Committee, which assisted the Vestry in selecting our Rector. I see an Episcopal Vestry potentially serving as spiritual and organizational leaders in the parish, as well as collaborating with the Rector regarding parish priorities, policies, and procedures, and serving as a conduit for the parish community to be heard.

    I am pleased at the direction the Parish has taken under Rev. Manoj’s leadership since he started in 2019, and I hope that the Vestry will continue to support and foster the growth in community and spiritual discernment we have seen in the past 4 years.

  • Member of St. Anne's since: 2003

    Occupation: CEO/Founder Kleynimals, LLC

    Present work in church: Vestry

    Biography: My husband, Jon, and I moved to Annapolis in 2003. I came to Annapolis after being born and raised in Montclair, New Jersey, where I was a member of St. James Episcopal Church for all 18 years of my life. After completing my bachelor’s degree at Bowdoin College in Maine, I moved to San Francisco then Boston and then Dallas. When we arrived in Annapolis, somewhat by chance, we were lucky that my parents, Judy and Bob Olson, were already living here and very involved in St. Anne’s. Jon and I started attending services at St. Anne’s almost immediately and met some of our first friends in Annapolis at church. Our two sons, Reid (18) and Davis (15) were both baptized at St. Anne’s and were acolytes for many years pre-COVID. I enjoyed serving on the Environmental Ministry and then on the Vestry (2010-2013). I also started and organized for several years an annual Advent Night at St. Anne’s that lasted for many years, that provided crafts, advent wreath making and activities, plus a visit from St. Nicholas for families.

    In my professional life, I founded Kleynimals in 2010. While raising Reid and Davis, I saw a need for non-toxic and safe toys for babies that parents could feel confident would not contain toxic chemicals such as lead, BPA, phthalates or cadmium, among other hazardous items. I started with stainless steel toy keys, and subsequently added baby rattles, teethers, and flatware, all made in the USA. It is a labor of love, but despite the challenges, I am committed to keeping manufacturing in the US. In my volunteer life, I have put in a lot of hours with various parent association roles with first Germantown Elementary School and now Key School. I also sit on the National Council for the World Wildlife Fund. Jon is the CEO of PlayVS., Reid is a freshman at Hamilton College and Davis is a sophomore at Key School.

Diocesan Alternates

  • Member of St. Anne's since: 1989

    Occupation: Real Estate Consulting

    Present work in church: Lector/Prayer Leader

    Biography: Father of three fantastic and thriving adult children, a lifelong Episcopalian, and a fan of outdoor activities, Annapolis has been home for 34 years. I was raised between New England and the New York Metro area, but the desire to live elsewhere allowed me to find Annapolis and all that it has to offer between sailing, the vibrance of a college town, and some southern charm. I resumed a transactional real estate career upon moving here which compelled me to “get involved” as a way to meet people and learn more about the community. This began with the Annapolis Jaycees, followed by the Anne Arundel Trade Council which led to a long-term commitment to Leadership Anne Arundel, including board presidency. The Midshipmen Sponsorship Program brought tremendous joy, mentorship for our children, and enduring relationships to our family. Giving back to our United States Naval Academy has enriched all of our lives and inspired each of our kids. St. Anne’s became my church home soon after moving here as a single person but it became an important aspect of our family once our children were born. Our children were baptized and confirmed at St. Anne’s. After many years of career, church, and volunteer involvement, Annapolis has become home, and St. Anne’s remains a meaningful source of support.
