How did you come to PC?
Sometimes it’s on a bulldog because ducks and beavers are way too slow...

What is the best thing about your role at PC?
Being a part of such a great leadership team and staff well, except for Pastor Dan (he smells funny). Seeing young people connect with God and begin a lifelong progressive relationship with Him. The honor and freedom of sharing the love of Jesus in a relevant manner with such a diverse, needing and hungry generation. Assisting students in Spiritual growth and seeing them discover their purposes in Him. And I have a swell office with my name on the door.

What is something few people know about you?
That I really am dashingly handsome, have absolutely no signs of balding and frequently get mistaken for a chiseled Roman statue in public. I can and often do run faster than a speeding bullet, I am way smarterer than Einstein, tougher than Chuck Norris and sing better than Pastor Chip... But everyone knows that stuff. But if I told what few knew it would know longer be something that only a few would know and the few who did or did not know would now know that they knew or did not know something only a few knew or did not know but now all know or not that the few knew and would want to know when they knew what they know... If you know what I mean.

What do you do on your free time?
Hang out with the family, play, dream, solve complex mathematical equations for the government, lift weights, invent a better sliced bread and read but that’s just my free time on Thursdays.
