One of the greatest joys of my life is found in creating a warm, welcoming space for others to encounter the love of God. Whether that’s in spiritual direction, sabbatical coaching, in the church or in everyday conversation, I look forward to extending God's invitation to each person I meet. I currently serve as an Associate Pastor at Gateway Church in The Dalles, Oregon. Prior to this I was a missionary and pastor in Karlsruhe, Germany for over a decade. I hold an MA in Theology from Fuller Seminary, am a trained Spiritual Director through Soul Formation, and am an ordained Presbyterian minister (ECO).
