About Me
I currently serve the CRC in the position of "Director of Candidacy". In this position I coordinate the pastoral ordination processes, and help give direction to the discussions we are having as a denomination regarding pastoral ordination. I've been an ordained CRC pastor since 1981, serving most recently (1994-2008) at the Anaheim CRC in southern California. I love the sunshine, and the cultural/ethnic diversity that so Cal has to offer, and I hope I can be a proponant of both in the CRC. :)
