My walk with God has been one exciting wild ride!  Saved by Jesus Christ when I was 22, I’ve never looked back.  Our family’s latest adventure brought us to Mukilteo, Washington, from Shoreview, Minnesota.  I had a full time job as an IT manager and was also pastoring a church in Shoreview when God said my time in both places was done.  He began to orchestrate the events so we would be freed-up to make the jump to the next new adventure.  God guided us each step of the way: first to northwest Washington, then to Mukilteo, then to our neighborhood, and finally to Mukilteo Foursquare Church.  The only thing He didn’t say was how I could help at MFC.  I offered my time and talents to the pastoral staff, and when the opportunity opened to step into the Youth Pastor position, we all felt it was the right move.  I have been enjoying this group of youth tremendously, and I look forward to drawing Mukilteo youth to Jesus.I am also the IT Director for the church, and in my spare time I coach the Kamiak High School Ultimate Frisbee team as well as play trumpet for the Mukilteo Community Chamber Orchestra.  I’m excited to be part of a community that has so much spirit, and I hope my life reflects Jesus Christ to those around me.

I am married to the best wife in the world, and we have 3 great kids.  I am probably just as competitive as our Senior Pastor, but I have to let him win since he is my boss (just kidding).  The day is coming soon when his reign as ping pong champ will be over…

My favorite verses:

• Matt 25:21  “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’”
• Matt 28:20b  “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
• Micah 6:8  “He has showed you, O man, what is good.  And what does the Lord require of you?  To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
