| Introduction | I'm married to Kay with two boys, Justin and Christopher. We moved from Colorado (which we still consider home because both boys were born there and we owned our first home) in 1998 to attend Talbot School of Theology to pursue a Masters degree in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics. We are Coloradoans through and through - huge Bronco, CU, and CSU fans. Both my wife and I worked for Campus Crusade for Christ for many years and have fond memories of our time with the organization. Largely because of Crusade's influence, we see the missional aspect to the Kingdom! I've been the college pastor at Ev. Free Fullerton for the past eight years and can't think of anything I'd rather do than minister to college students! Ok, I like to read a lot but if you really want to get to know me, let's grab a ethnic meal somewhere and fellowship! Ummmm.... schawarma.... chicken tikka masala.... udon... |
