Biography

My arrival at Ambrose in 2011-2012 marked our family’s return to Calgary after spending 19 years in Ottawa. During that time, I worked for the Canadian government in a variety of federal departments, the last of which was the Department of Canadian Heritage, where I served as Director General, Strategic Policy and Management, in the Cultural Affairs Sector. While in Ottawa, my wife Kathy and I had the opportunity to serve on the leadership teams of a number of church plants. I also pastored an Alliance church in South Ottawa for two years. Prior to our time in Ottawa, I worked in Calgary as a management consultant focusing on change management and human resources. In addition, Kathy and I were also on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ in their national headquarters in Vancouver, where I served as the Director of Headquarter Operations. We have three children, one born in each of the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. We’re excited about the Lord’s call for us to be back in Calgary (our hometown) with family and friends and the opportunity to be part of the Ambrose community. We sense that a key part of our calling is to be used by God in the area of building and fostering authentic and close connections with others.
