Family:
My awesome wife and main squeeze Grace, a bunch of fish, a red-ear slider we affectionately call Turdy, our weirdo cat Wolfgang Amadeus, and myself.
How did you first start coming to HCKB?
I was bribed. My brother gave me 5 bucks to go to MiniChurch back in high school. Really…that’s how it happened.
What is one thing that you love about HCKB?
I love Hope Chapel’s dedication to equip ORDINARY people to go out there and win their world to Christ.
What do you love most about working for HCKB?
I get to work with some of the greatest people on the planet, and I get to stare at Trevor (our Worship Pastor) all day.
Who is the most influential person in your life?
Well of course JC! He trumps everybody else…but I have to say my youth pastors when I was in young and Ralph Moore have been big influences in who I am today. Oh yeah, and Bono is pretty cool too.
What inspires you?
I’m inspired when people are completely sold out for God. It humbles me, and makes me check my own life. Also, music inspires me quite often. Worship music of course, but also any music that has a great mixture of content and creativity.
Any Hidden Talents?
I used to actually know how to sew I little bit when it was cool to buy stuff from Savers and the Salvation Army.
Life Long Goal:
I want to fulfill all of God’s purposes for my life here on earth.
Little Known Fact About Me:
I’m a lot taller then I look.
Favorites:
Book (other than the Bible):
“Mere Christianity” by C.S. Lewis and “Abide in Christ” by Andrew Murray are my top two.
Movie:
The Office (I know it’s not a movie but I watch enough of the episodes in a row to be considered a movie)
Restaurant:
What the Pho
Food:
Filipino, Thai, Vietnamese, pasties from England.
Ice Cream:
Rum Raisin by Haagen-Dazs
Drink @ Starbucks:
Americano. But I’d rather go to Chad Lous in Kailua to be honest.
Song:
Currently listening to the new Aaron Gillespie worship album “Anthem Song”. Good stuff.
Childhood Memory:
Spending hours preparing for and engaging in paper wad fights around and in my old house.
