What I do: Outreach Pastor (I help connect people with the many amazing things God is doing both locally and around the world). I also have a full time job trying to keep my office clean.

What I want you to know about me: Despite my messy office, I actually do have many redeeming qualities. And I am immensely grateful to be married to Kim, for the privilege of being a father to my kids, and for the huge blessing of living in the incredible Bay Area

What’s currently on my iPod: Anything alternative, some punk, plus I enjoy most 80's music (goes back to my radio days).

What I watch: Lost, Survivor, The Apprentice, CNN Headline News, anything NFL... and the Disney Channel (my kids will be so proud of me).

Books that have recently influenced me: Apart from God's Word, some great reads that have shaped my global thinking are "The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century", "The Lexus and the Olive Tree: Understanding Globalization", "The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad" and "Freakonomics". I also like reading the owner's manual for my espresso machine... anything for a better cup of coffee! I also read tons of magazines.

What I like to do: Play with my kids, family getaways, home improvement projects, play with my kids, go flying (I'm a private pilot), go to the beach, do graphic design... did I mention play with my kids?
