I've done a number of things in my life, including cattle ranching, truck driving, and pastoring Friends churches. Concerning the latter, I've served Tigard Friends Church (OR), Friends Community Church in Fresno (CA), and Crossroads Community Church in Svensen, Oregon. I am currently serving as pastor at Star Friends Church in Idaho.

I am a graduate of George Fox University (BA) and have earned an M.Div. at Asbury Theological Seminary and a D.Min. degree at Fuller Theological Seminary.
