Where I come from
Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, I grew up in North Dakota and Indiana. I played baseball, basketball, and football as a child, and continue my lifelong love-hate relationship with the game of golf as an adult. I pursued drama and literature at Butler University, then continued my studies at Idaho State University.
Prior to coming to Multnomah in 1998, Itaught high school English at Faith Academy in Mobile, Alabama, college English at Pillsbury College in Owatonna, Minnesota, and general studies at Trinity Christian School in American Falls, Idaho. I served as a deacon at Pocatello Bible Church for one year before moving to Washington.
Family and extra-curricular, non-ministry activities
I married Libbey in 1992. We have three children, Hogan, Chloe and Ethan. I am the founder/past president of the Evergreen Curling Club and consider curling the noblest of all sports.
What I love about working at Multnomah
It is a privilege for me to work alongside men and women of such wonderful Christian character. Multnomah faculty and students form a strong body of Christ in Portland, and the effect of their work is felt around the world. Teaching students who will soon be leaders is a challenge and an awesome responsibility. I thank God for placing me in this place, and I trust that my work here will be added to His glory.
