Background

Before coming to Northwest, I served in full-time pastoral ministry for fifteen years: ten years with the Chi Alpha Campus Ministry at the University of Washington, and five years as senior pastor of Calvary Chapel in Seattle. I taught full-time in the History Department at Northwest for six years before assuming the position of Provost in May 2005. The teaching and mentoring I do now is built on these foundational experiences.

Family

We seem to gravitate toward the helping professions. Cherie, my wife, is a Registered Nurse working in neonatal special care. Our son, Judson, is a pediatrician. Like me, our daughter Callie is drawn toward teaching. She graduated from NU with an education degree, taught ESL in Japan for a year, and now teaches in the public schools.

Hobbies

Backpacking, Cycling, Golf, and Scuba Diving.
