I have been pastor of Avondale Bible Church since July of 1995. Yeah, that is a long time, but I still love it here! My wife, Heidi, and I were married on July 1st, 1988. We have made our home here in Woodinville with our three boys. I graduated from Western Seminary with a master’s degree in Christian Education and have a B.S. in Business Administration from Corban University where I also majored in Bible and Theology. Prior to coming to ABC, I served Gatewood Baptist Church in West Seattle as an Associate Pastor and the Gatewood Private School as the Director. I was raised as a pastor’s kid, and my three brothers also became pastors. My sister’s husband is a Christian college professor. Our entire family has been blessed and impacted by Godly parents and grandparents. Besides preaching, I love to travel and garden, and I especially enjoy my family and grandson!
