Pastor

Family:

I married Julie in October of 2008. We have been foster parents since early 2015 and adopted our daughters in 2016 and 2020.

Hometown:

I was born in Hawaii and lived there for 10 years until moving to Sonoma County, so I usually say Santa Rosa is my hometown. After moving away for college and thinking I would never end up here again, I felt God call me back to Sonoma County in 2007.

Hobbies

I love visiting National Parks, gardening, and creative endeavors like making music and photography.
