Fincastle / Botetourt County, Virginia
St. Mark's Rector, Willis Logan comes from Christ Church, Charlottesville although he has ties to the Roanoke Valley and lived most of his life in Salem. He is married to Ashley, who he met when he was a junior at Salem High School. Ashley is a UVa trained General Pediatrician and has joined Physicians to Children in Roanoke. Willis and Ashley have three children. They love to do all things outside with an emphasis on any water sport.
After graduating from Middlebury College in Vermont, Willis owned and operated The Virginia Company -- a specialized retailer focused completely on Virginia Products -- hams, peanuts and wine. After finishing an executive degree at Georgetown, he divested the businesses and pursued a call to the Priesthood. Willis was ordained in June of 2014 after completing his degree at Duke Divinity School. His ministry is focused on pastoral care, integrating grace into the parish, and teaching and preaching through the lens of Law and Gospel.
A graduate of Duke Divinity School and former Summer Seminarian at St. Mark’s, Jake Webb has returned to serve as the Assistant to the Rector. Born and raised in the Carolinas, Jake majored in mathematics and philosophy at the College of Charleston. Jake also spent several years in Europe, where he learned German and French and completed a master’s in philosophy at the Free University of Berlin. While at Duke, Jake served as the Treasurer at a local Episcopal Church and was involved in prison ministry and community organizing. In his free time, Jake might be found trying out a new vegan recipe, translating German theology, or staring indecisively at all the books he’s bought but not read yet.
