One of my great joys is helping others express their gifts effectively. I’m pleased at Columbia Pres to have the opportunity to support both staff and members in the work God has called them to, making faithful and effective impacts in the church – and more broadly as well. I love to help people build their leadership skills. I have leadership and management experience in multiple industries (including transportation, manufacturing, construction, & property management), and non-profit, volunteer, religious, and educational settings.

I am a native Washingtonian, and my wife and I have raised our children in Vancouver. We have also spent some time living abroad, particularly in China and Thailand. If you get me started on some of those stories, I can go on a long time! I am an avid photographer and a decent cook, at least according to my wife.
