Staff and Elders

I have been pastor of Avondale Bible Church since July of 1995. Yea, that is a long time, but I still love it here. My wife, Heidi and I were married July 1st of 1988. We have made our home here in Woodinville along with our three boys. I graduated from Western Seminary, Portland Ore. with a Masters Degree in Christian Education and have a B.S. of Business Administration from Corban, Salem Ore. where I also majored in Bible and Theology. Prior to coming to ABC, I served the 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 kids and my three brothers became pastors also. 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, garden, and especially enjoy my family and grandson!
