Spouse:  I’ve been married for 31 years to my beautiful, gifted, amazing wife – Sharon.

Children:  We have an awesome 27 year old son, Jothan, who is a YWAM
missionary in the Philippines with his wife Joann and our first grand child, Samantha.  We also have a wonderful daughter, Jenna, who left for heaven early after a tragic motor-scooter accident just before her 22nd birthday and we can hardly wait to spend time with her again in heaven.

Wisdom:  “Friends, this world is not your home, so don’t make yourselves     cozy in it.  Don’t indulge your ego at the expense of your soul.” I Peter 2:11 (Message)

“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where they can be eaten by moths and get rusty, and where thieves break in and steal.  Store your treasures in heaven, where they will never become moth-eaten or rusty and where they will be safe from thieves.  Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will also be.” Matthew 6:19-21 (NLT)

Education:  I have a 3-year diploma from Bible college, but by far my best education has come from life and spending time with God and people.

How you got involved at SouthSide:  I had the privilege of founding
SouthSide with my wife and some good friends in 1993.

Some favourite things:  Spending time with my wife and family, SouthSide, holidays, nature, biking, walking, hiking, watching sports, reading

Hope and vision for SouthSide:  That we bring pleasure to God by being a growing community of people that passionately think, speak and act like Jesus.
