Greg Baird

The most important thing to know about me is that I am blessed beyond measure to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, to have married way over my head to my wife, Michele, and that I have two incredible teenage sons named Taylor and Garret.

I serve as theVice President of Global Resources in the Global Mission department at David C. Cook. Essentially, my role is to create partnerships globally and to develop and deliver ministry training around the world.

I love what I do as it is the outflow of 20 years of ministry experience as Children's, Family & Administrative Pastor, consultant, trainer, speaker and short-term missions leader. I also blog at ChildrensMinistryLeader.com, and do a limited amount of ministry coaching, consulting and speaking (contact me through ChildrensMinistryLeader.com for inquiries).

On the personal side, I grew up in a Christian home travelling the world, first as a military brat (living in 4 states and Japan by the time he was eight) and then as a missionary kid (moving to Tasmania, Australia for my high school years). I love sports – World Cup soccer, the Chargers and Padres top the list. And I love to read, write and have conversations about ministry & leadership in general. My newest pursuit is road biking!
