He also is experienced in the food industry and has earned his Food Service Manger Certificate. “I want to give a big thank you to Trueman Hoffmeister, who is the outgoing ED, and Caleb for doing so many wonderful things already at the camp,” states Taft.  “I certainly have some big shoes to fill, but I am eager to step into the role, and to continue to make this camp a great and wonderful place for everyone in and around our conference!”
