Raised in the Catholic Church, I left it at age 15. Met my future wife, Laura (Campbell) at BCIT in Broadcast Journalism program. Married as non-Christians in Feb 1983 but met Jesus at a home group out of Canyon Heights Chapel (Pastor Jim Lucas) in North Van in Oct 1983. Raised our five children in North Van and Langley and visited Gibsons (and Gibsons Pentecostal - now CLA Gibsons) often, over the last few decades, due to Laura's parents (Bruce & Lottie Campbell), and two of her siblings, living here.
Moved permanently to Gibsons in May 2021. We felt the call of God to be closer to Laura's parents.
Served/attended at CLA Langley since 2005 in various capacities (Alpha ministry, Life groups, 2017- 2020 on the Board). I have worked for TELUS (in information technology) since 1983.
Laura and I love paddleboarding, walking along beaches, and occasionally playing pickleball. And we love when our children visit (which is often) and bring the granchildren (there are eight of them now).
