TEAM MEMB ERS OF ADVENTWEB MINISTRY
Residing in the Los Angeles area and employed as a customer service manager in the Air Conditioning & Refrigeration equipment industry, Will Baron has coordinated the development of AdventWeb since its early beginnings as the Norwalk Web Group. This was a team of three lay-people who in the year 2000 pooled their talents and together produced the award-winning website www.NorwalkSDA.org for their local Norwalk Church. Originally becoming involved in web ministry as a volunteer topic writer for the BibleInfo.com website, Will believes that the World Wide Web has a tremendous potential for communicating to the world the profound teachings of the Bible and the blessings of a spiritual lifestyle. As a former devotee of the New Age spirituality movement and best-selling author of the book Deceived by the New Age, Will has experienced first-hand how the truth of the Bible can set people free from Satanic deception and lead them to a life blessed by God.

Currently residing in Washington State in the Northwestern part of the USA, Harvey Steck was a book and magazine editor by profession, but subsequently transitioned to Internet work. He is currently AdventWeb’s main contract webmaster. With 18 years of experience in Christian print media, the accelerating popularity of the Internet as a communication portal motivated Harvey to learn web design and HTML programming development. In 2005 he launched Steck Services, a book editing and website design service. Harvey was the webmaster for the makeover performed on the EllenWhite.info website, which is currently AdventWeb’s cutting-edge site from the perspective of design technology. He continues to develop the Ellen White website in addition to working on other website projects for AdventWeb.
A resident of Minnesota where he operates a website design and book publishing business called Pickle Publishing, Bob Pickle was the original webmaster who constructed AdventWeb’s EllenWhite.info website, the beta version of which was hosted on the Internet under the domain “EllenGWhite.info”. Bob’s background includes working as a pastor for over 9 years with the Alabama Conference USA, and being the Education Director for the Eden Valley Lifestyle Institute located in Colorado, USA. It was at the Eden Valley Institute where Bob learned webmastering, so that he could construct and maintain that organization’s website. For several years an apologist for the writings and ministry of Ellen White, Bob authored the book “A Response to the Video”, and was a perfect choice to be the construction webmaster for the original beta version of AdventWeb’s “Ellen White” information website.
