Michael Young is a recently retired electrical and software engineer. After graduating from Carnegie Mellon University in 1977 he settled into the high-tech environment of eastern Massachusetts. In 1978 he married his high school sweetheart Kristine, and they eventually made their home in Hudson, Mass., and then nearby Boxborough where they have lived for over 25 years. Mike and Kris have attended Faith Evangelical Free Church since 1977, shortly after the church moved to its current location in Acton. Over the years he has served as a deacon, Sunday school teacher and elder. As the church approached its centennial celebration, Mike”s hobby as an amateur genealogist and his interest in local history piqued his interest in the stories of the people who founded the church. As a church elder, he was also very interested in church growth and spiritual health, prompting him to focus on these issues in his research in the church archives.
