Les was born in Archbold, Ohio but has called Cincinnati home since 1995. He and his wife, Jennifer, have been members at Center Pointe since 2014. Les has served in a variety of volunteer roles including tech team, ERT, CP Kids, Cafe Team, and was on the building committee developing the audio, video and lighting systems for our new building.

Les joined the CPCC staff team in 2023 after retiring from a diverse career. He has worked as a television engineer, industrial design engineer, in sales and leadership, and as a business owner. He brings a plethora of knowledge and expertise to our Weekend Experience team!

Les and Jennifer have an adult daughter, Machen Champion, and two granddogs. They love pro football and taking yearly trips to visit stadiums around the county. His favorite pastimes include cruising in his Mustang convertible, woodworking and reading biographies.

Les is thankful to have been brought up in a wonderful Christian family who instilled faith and a love of scripture from a young age. He dedicated his life to Christ at the age of nine while attending a traveling revival in his hometown. He loves to see the positive responses from the praising congregation on Sunday morning while running sound for our worship services.
