About Me
I have always had a passion for communicating messages in a creative way. In High School, when that passion was coupled with leadership in my local church, it caused me to decide that I should devote my life to ministry and follow God’s call. From then on I knew that God would use me to better his Kingdom and the Church. After graduating from High School I attended Pacific Christian College where I met my future wife, Shelley. After dating for 4 years we were married January 6, 1995. Our lives have been filled with excitement and adventure raising three young girls who love God and love being a part of the Church.
I believe in furthering my education and preparing myself for ministry, so in 2007 I completed a Masters of Arts in Theology degree from Fuller Seminary. My education has helped sharpen my theological foundations and has honed my understanding of the scripture. In addition to understanding the scripture I believe the church must engage the world around us, and so for the past 15 years I have worked closely with a research organization studying conflict around the world. We are continuing to study the role of faith in conflict areas.
In my work in the Church I have had the opportunity to grow in my creativity, in my passion for communicating the Gospel message in a relevant way, and in my leadership abilities. I have learned what it takes to further a vision and lead a team of both staff and volunteers.
I have never been afraid to try new things or accept a challenge. This adventurous spirit has led me to become proficient at a wide array of skills. Over the past 20 years I have gained experience in teaching and public speaking, website design, video development, script writing, home remodeling, team leadership and development, along with many other things.
Now, I am ready to continue my learning and my leading.
