Elder

​

I was born in Corvallis, Oregon, but grew up in Eugene where I met my wife, Jannet. We moved to Portland where I graduated from Multnomah Bible College. We have three children and two grandchildren. Our youngest son, Josiah, lives with us and keeps us constantly entertained. My background before entering the ministry was in construction. I have served PBC for over 26 years and have been in ministry for over 34. For the past three years, I have also been an interim pastor for churches who are in a pastoral transition. I enjoy riding my motorcycle in the wide open spaces of southeastern Oregon and snowshoeing in the Strawberry Mountains in the winter.
