I grew up in Klamath Falls, OR as the son of a pastor. I moved to Redding in June of 99’ to return to school. I was going to go back to school to become a teacher when God apprehended my life in a new way and called me in to full time ministry.

During that time, I met my beautiful wife Kristin. We now have two beautiful kids, Emma and Ean, who bring lots of joy and plenty of challenges to our lives. We are extremely blessed to be raising our children in a spiritual family like the Vineyard.
