Describe your role at First Pres. I serve as the primary preacher and am the moderator of Session, helping us discern and practically follow the will of God. At my best I’m the “pray-er in chief.”              

What do you like best about your job? Getting to see the Lord work in and through us to grow His kingdom.            

Tell us about your family. Pam and I were married in 1997. Ian came along in 2004 and Eric in 2006. My marriage and sons are God’s greatest gifts to me.

What do you like to do outside of your work? Beyond family, I have wide-ranging interests but love anything that gets me outside and particularly fly fishing.              

What do you like to eat most? Barbecue and spicy food.

Favorite teams? The Denver Broncos and University of Arizona

Who do you like to read? C.S. Lewis.

What passage of scripture do you lean on in your role? One of my life verses is 2 Corinthians 4:1. “Therefore, since it is by God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.” It is such a great reminder that I get to do this as part of God’s mercy to me rather than because God somehow needs me.
