I would love to say I have known the Lord from an early age, but for me that just wasn’t the case. I grew up in Southern California and thought life revolved around the beach, surfing, and having a good time. In the 70s, I came to Washington with the intent of going to school, but instead started working as a salesman. I met my wife Sheila at that time. A few years later, at the encouragement of some friends, we started going to church. Sheila found Christ first, and I faked it until a life of never committing came into conflict with the work God was doing on my heart. It was then that life as I knew it changed. I decided it was time to make a commitment to God and to my wife, and it was the best decision of my life.
Sheila and I have been married for 30 years now, and I thank God everyday for her. We have one grown son, Joshua, who has been called into ministry. We are also about to be blessed this August with a daughter-in-law, Katie.
Almost 4 years ago we moved back to Mill Creek and were looking for a new church. One where God’s Words were real and being lived out not only in the lives of its pastors and leadership but in the lives of its people. Canyon Creek is that place. I consider it an honor and a privilege to serve as an Elder. Sheila, Josh, Katie, and I love being part of a Spirit filled church that is making a difference in people’s lives.
