Franciscan Ministries is excited to welcome Daniel Peck, Graphic Designer & Project Coordinator, to the team!

Daniel brings over a decade of marketing and creative experience in both the private and public sectors and has volunteered with several local non-profits. When he’s not working, he’s busy with “dad life,” chasing after his two young boys and keeping up with his family's two dogs. Outside of family adventures and work, Daniel loves a good bonfire, a seasonal drive in the family jeep, or cheering on the Detroit Lions.

Please join us in giving Daniel a warm welcome to the Ministry!
