“When humility delivers a man from attachment to his own words and his own reputation, he discovers that true joy is only possible when we have completely forgotten ourselves, and it is only when we pay no more attention to our life and our own reputation and our own excellence that we are at last completely free to serve God for His sake alone.” Thomas Merton

I am the Lead Pastor of Marin Bible Church (Bay Area), born and raised in Huntington Beach, Ca., and currently living in Novato, California. I am married to my best friend of 32 years - Dana - and have five adult children; and eleven grand children. I have been a Teaching Pastor for over thirty years. I was privileged to study at Multnomah School of the Bible (B.S. - 1988); Talbot School of Theology (M.Div. - 1991); Westminster Theological Seminary & Northwest Graduate School (D. Min. - 2003). I founded Vertical Living Ministries in 2008 with the goal of encouraging Christian Disciples and Leaders to be more intentionally Christ-Centered in how they live by bringing glory to God in nine key areas of life: (1) Intimacy with God, (2) marriage, (3) family, (4) friendship, (5) vocationally/ministry , (6) emotional and physical health, (7) stewardship of resources, (8) discipleship, and (9) mentoring.
