Bio:
I grew up in Colorado, having spent most of my time on my grandparent’s ranch and farm outside of Yuma and attending school in Greeley. I met my only love, Trish, after having graduated from college and moving to Denver to teach high school social studies. After getting married, Trish and I moved to San Diego where I attended business school and Trish worked as an aerospace engineer. After years of rebellion against God, culminating in being an arguing atheist living in Seattle, I was saved by our Lord in my early 40’s when I was working as a business executive in the tech industry. Trish and I felt a call to pastoral ministry, so we moved back to Denver so I could attend Denver Seminary and she went to work in ministry for K-LOVE Radio. After receiving my M.Div at Denver Seminary, I was called to be the Senior Pastor of Redemption Hills Church. Serving the people of God, preaching God’s word, loving Jesus, glorifying God, and being with Trish are the loves of my life. Trish and I have a grown son and daughter named Erich and Hannah who love Jesus. Trish and I enjoy the outdoors and I like spending time reading, writing, riding my bike, playing golf, and spending time with those in need to hear the Good News.My husband, Aaron and I, are natives to Colorado and have grown up in the great foothills of West Denver. The Lord has graciously blessed us with two energetic boys, Judah and Ezekiel. Their growing understanding of Jesus has fueled my desire to teach and share the gospel with every child who enters our doors at Redemption Hills Church. After being heavily involved in children’s ministries for decades, I was blessed to fully engage as the RHC Children’s Ministry Director in 2023.
It is my passion to teach children the truth of God’s Word, who God is and who God says they are. In a world muddied with lies, confusion and worldly identities it is imperative that our children be taught the truth of Jesus Christ. He is the only Way, the Truth, and the Life. We must meet families and children where they are with love, grace, and truth as they find their identity in Christ and begin a true relationship with our Savior.
