My education -­­ I have an associates degree in computer science

My occupation/employment -as of now, director of the Clothes Closet

How I spend my days off –lately, sleeping

What interests me -fishing, camping, and helping out wherever God wants me to go

How I became a Christian -I was born into a Lutheran family so I have known God my entire life but, as most of us have done, I have strayed here and there. Up until the past 2 to 3 years I didn't have much reason for attending church on a regular basis, but since we have started coming to Gales Creek I have become quite involved with the goings on.

What I love most about God -He is always there for me. No matter how many times I fall He is right there to pick up the pieces.

My favorite scripture – John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believes in Him may not perish but have everlasting life.”

My vision for Gales Creek Church - To continue to grow in the love of God. To create such an outreach that we bust out our walls. To stay as open and loving as we all are.
