I’m the Minister to High School Students, and I previously worked as a volunteer with this high school ministry since 1999.  I also work part-time in the paint department at the Home Depot in Seattle.

I became a Christian when I was young, as a result of my parents and friends at University Presbyterian Church in Seattle.  I started volunteering with high school students at Shoreline Covenant when Matt Montzingo invited me to help him with music and some events.  I decided to go to church here because I felt so welcomed here and I liked that it was so much smaller than the church I came from!

Christy and I got married in February of 2006, and immediately went to live in Tijuana for 9 months, where we lived in an orphanage and hosted American teams that came to build houses.
