God's awesome power is on display everywhere we look. None more wondrous than when events play out before our eyes that were foretold in intricate detail, hundreds and sometimes thousands of years before. Written by a man said to have a heart like God's, King David, Psalm 22 is just such a proof text. The Psalm is not only a prophetic look at the crucifixion of Jesus, but it is the inspired words of God and used by Jesus to provide strength in time of great personal need.

I serve as Pastor of the United Church of God congregations in Seattle and Burlington, Washington.

I grew up in the Church of God, spending all of my teen and adult years in the Northwest of the United States. I met my wife Tina in Redding California at the Feast of Tabernacles in 1988. We were married in 1990 and have four children, three daughter in-laws, and two grandchildren (with a third due June of '24). I love the life Tina and I built together, and we are most passionate about "family". Our physical family is a continual gift from God, and we are overjoyed that we also are blessed to be a part of the family God is building.

I worked thirty plus years as a salesman, serving the Industrial Construction and Manufacturing trades. Tina currently works in employment services, specializing in the SSA's Ticket to Work program, where she assists those with disabilities find employment and navigate the Human Services field. Tina and I have lived and served God's Church in the States of Washington (Vancouver, Sedro Woolley) and Oregon (Portland, Hood River, Eugene, Roseburg, Coos Bay).

I was ordained and Elder in 2017, became the Assistant Pastor of the Portland Oregon Congregation in 2018, then we entered the full-time ministry November 1st, 2019, assuming the pastorate of Seattle and eventually Burlington as well. We love serving God's people and working directly for our High Priest Jesus Christ.
