Tell us about what you do here at Third:

My job is to connect our Covenant Partners with our global and local mission partners to help them engage our city and our world in a missional way.

What is your favorite book(s)?

My favorite book is a challenging question. Fiction wise I am a big fan of Epic Fantasy and Sci-fi, think Lord of the Rings and Star Wars and you will have a general idea of what I like to read. Non-Fiction I am a fan of John Mark Comer (I recommend Garden City, it is one of my favorites), and recently some notables are Beholding by Strahan Coleman and The Epic of Eden by Sarah Richter. It’s challenging to pick just a few! 

What is your favorite thing to do in Richmond?

To go on an evening walk with my wife and enjoy the nature and beauty around the Richmond area! 

Tell us more about you, your family and what you like to do when you’re not working:

I was born and raised in Boring, Oregon, and yes, the town is as exciting as it seems. My wife, Bex, and I met in New Zealand and we have been married since August 2022. I love a good cup of coffee, so if you find a new spot, please share! I love to read, play bocce ball, cook, bake, and puzzle. 

Why are you excited to be a part of Third Church?

I am excited to be a part of a community that has missions at the core of their identity. To encourage one another to live out God's mission in whatever context they are called to gets me so excited, and that is what Third is passionate about cultivating.
