Family: I have a beautiful wife, Catherine, whom I love with all of my heart.

On living in Minneapolis, Minnesota: We moved from Chicago to Minneapolis to become a part of the Bethlehem family, to be trained through the Nurture Program to reach the unreached, and to sit under John Piper’s preaching.  Catherine and I love being surrounded by our family of friends that push us to treasure Christ more each day.  Minneapolis is a great city – not for its “stuff”, but for the many Christian Hedonists the Lord has called to pass through this place.

What do you enjoy most for refreshment? I love to have people over for breakfast and coffee over good a conversation, BBQs, Steal-a-Word with “Bahama Ripper.”
