Year you came on staff at CCC: I joined staff at CCC in the fall of 2001. I worked with Student Ministries for a year before leaving to pursue my MDiv at Trinity. In 2005 I returned to CCC as a Pastoral Fellow. One year later, I accepted the position I currently hold as Pastor of Extension Ministries.
Something you wish everyone would understand and embrace: The centrality of the cross
A favorite ministry memory: Watching Bennie Ford (of last year's Habitat Family) sit down in his brand new living room on "move-in" day. His smile lit up the house and he kept saying: "I will never forget this moment." (Bennie calls me every few months just to check-in and say thanks.)
Hobbies: Running, hiking, reading, good coffee, great conversation, & sneaking away to beach, mountain, & country places every chance I get.
