A follower of Jesus for 42 years. I have been in full-time Christian work for 37 years, including Director of Media for Maranatha!Music, Founding Producer for The Word for Today (with Pastor Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, CA), 26 years as founding Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel of Sacramento, CA, and now, Assisting Pastor at Calvary Chapel Salt Lake City since 2006.

I am very happily married to Laura – my best friend, lover and ministry partner of 40 years. She is an awesome lady and the mother of our 8 children – Micah, Josh, Johnny, Chris, Grace, Joe, Anna and Tim. We (really Laura) home schooled our kids for 20  years. Currently we have 10 grandkids. The Lord has blessed our tribe with an abundance of creativity which our kids express in music, writing, graphics, media and other ways.

I have a passion for studying and teaching God's Word, The Bible, and making it's powerful, life-giving truths understandable and accessible.
