Mitch Ferris

Formerly from the south suburbs of Chicago, Mitch Ferris served in the United States Marine Corps as a Light Armored Infantryman.  Later he went on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art and Electronic Media from the University of Illinois at Chicago.  Mitch currently lives in Carol Stream with his wife, Lynn, and his two children, Samantha and Austin.  Together his family has been attending Parkview since 1999.  In his free time, Mitch enjoys making music and experiencing new things.  He also loves spending time in nature and participating in outdoor activities such as hiking and canoeing.   In his role as the Technical Arts Director at Parkview, Mitch is responsible for the audio, video, lighting, and other technical systems.  Being both a thinker and a doer, Mitch thrives in this position because he can use his creativity to target issues and then effectively execute solutions to those problems.  Since his days here vary, you might find Mitch climbing the ceiling to hang lights or figuring out a problem with someone’s computer.  Mitch enjoys a flexible work routine and he is most passionate about creating a space where people can have an authentic encounter with God.
