Family info:

My wife Victoria teaches 5th Grade at St Mark’s School in Kane’ohe. Our four adult kids all live in Santa Rosa as well as our only grandchild.

How did you come to HCKB?

The Lord out it on our hearts about seven years ago to move to Hawai’i and then we did almost two years ago. As we were visiting different churches on O’ahu, we were continually led by the Spirit back to HCKB. We made the commitmnent in November 2006 to bloom where God wanted to plant us. Each day is a new blessing for us here.

   
Ministry passion:

I equally enjoy connecting new members to our church and serving in the Men’s Ministry. I feel filled with the Spirit when I am among my brothers in Christ seeking His will.

Biggest influence in your life over the past year and why:

Ralph Moore has been the biggest influence. We came from a great church with a great Pastor whom I thought would be impossible to replace. Pastor Ralph has taken the time, effort, and spiritual energy to mentor both my wife and I and continue to bring richness to our spiritual and secular lives.

:: FUN STUFF

Travels:
We have the opportunity to travel a lot. We go back to Santa Rosa to visit on a regular basis and we also visit my adopted family in Tahiti quite often. We also love vacationing on the other islands. In summer of 2008 we will be going to Europe for five weeks.

Hobbies:
Since I am retired, I love to volunteer. My main efforts are at HCKB but I also coached football at Kailua HS. I also love to do home remodel projects . I play golf when I can, play guitar occasionally , and enjoy going to O’ahu beaches.

What you do for fun:
I actually enjoy reading for the first time in years and enjoy snorkeling and scuba. Visiting friends on O’ahu also.

What makes you laugh:
Clever people who have a great sense of humor that is not at the expense of another person. Also, little kids being just little kids.
