How long have you been working at Life Community & what do you do here?
I am the Connections Pastor at LCC since May of 2019. My role is to help people become and stay connected to the life of our church.
What relevant education or work experience prepared you for your position?
Before coming to LCC I was a youth pastor for 12 years in Spokane, Puyallup, and Shoreline. I studied Christian Ministries at Northwest Nazarene University. In addition to being a pastor I am a High School Bible teacher at King’s High School in Seattle.
Tell us about your hobbies?
I’ve rode BMX for 16 years and like to do anything that gets me outside (hiking, camping, paddle boarding and running). I also love collecting and taking photo’s with old film cameras.
Favorite book of all time (not including the Bible)?
“In the Name of Jesus” by Henri Nouwen and “Fear and Trembling” by Soren Kierkegaard. I love to learn and teach so you can frequently find me reading a stack of books.
Favorite band of all time?
My favorite bands range from Copeland, Haste the Day, Andy Mineo, Mumford and Sons, and Lucero. Probably my favorite album of all time is Beloved(US), Failure On
Your favorite movie/TV?
My favorite movies are “Hunt for the Wilderpeople” and “Guardians of the Galaxy”. Favorite TV show is The Office and I also love to watch documentaries.
Where is your happy place?
My happy place is on top of a mountain with a fresh brewed cup of coffee after a long hike. Other alternatives: The skatepark, sitting in my backyard with my dogs, or Disneyland.
