My wife Trisha and I came to Lakeside in the fall of 2004, looking to give church another chance. What we found here was incredible and like nothing either of us had experienced before. I immediately knew this was where we were meant to be.

It wasn't until the fall of 2006 that I was approached by Chris Deeves to volunteer on the tech team. Chris and I went to high school together where I was actively involved in the dramatic arts department and I was the Technical Director for two Sears Drama Festivals.

Since graduating I have worked in a variety of technical careers including a couple of years as a lighting and sound tech, a couple of years in the alarm and security business, and most recently eight years in the computer industry. In 2006 I started my own business in yet another high-tech field.

In the spring of 2007, I was invited to join the staff in a part-time Technical Director position. This role utilizes my breadth of experiences as I look after everything from lighting and sound equipment, to computers and phones. The job is exciting and the Lakeside staff is a great bunch to work with. This is, without a doubt, my most enjoyable career move.

My hobbies and free time are as low tech as they can get and include golf, hikes with my wife Trisha and our dog, and geocaching.
