Contact:
Area of Involvement: SDSU Site Director, Finances, Missional Community Leader, (I don't know what my new "Inward Focused" ministry would be called ... maybe General Lackey would suffice)
Wisdom/bit of advice/quote: "Oh! men and brethren, what would this heart feel if I could but believe that there were some among you who would go home and pray for a revival – men whose faith is large enough, and their love fiery enough to lead them from this moment to exercise unceasing intercessions that God would appear among us and do wondrous things here, as in the times of former generations.” - Charles Spurgeon
Spouse: Hope and I married on June 15, 2002. God in His sovereignty brought her to me, though I was undeserving. It was His common grace upon me.
Children: Keliah and Silas (Hopefully soon …)
Education: BS Mathematics at San Diego Christian College, MA Christian Education at Talbot School of Theology
Hope and Vision for Kaleo: That we would glorify God and enjoy Him forever on mission as we bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to San Diego through our word and deeds. This Gospel Transformation would begin first in our hearts as His adopted children and ambassadors, and expand as a revival throughout all San Diego and the surrounding regions.
How you got involved with Kaleo: After talking with David about Kaleo's vision, Hope and I decided that there was no community that we would rather invest ourselves. It was rare to find a church that emphasized doctrine and mission, or right living as well as love and service to the poor and marginalized of society. Kaleo understood that these were all connected to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
A few of my favorite things: My wife, children, basketball, people, theology, classical music, reading, opera, John the Beloved, teaching, soccer, Piper, movies, Spurgeon, The Office, hip-hop, mathematics.
Et cetera, et cetera: Three men rode in a train together: an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician. As they looked out at the countryside and saw a brown cow, the engineer turned to the others and remarked, "We know that they have brown cows in this field." The physicist replied to his colleague, "On the contrary, we only know that there is at least one brown cow in this field." The mathematician, smiling to himself said, "You are both incorrect. All we truly know is that there is at least half of a cow in this field, of which the half we see is brown."
