I grew up in a Christian Home with a Presbyterian background in Denver, Colorado. Both of my parents were strong Christians and were great models for myself and my two siblings. My brother, Bruce, and his wife, Mindy, also attend Mission Hills. I met my wife, Janis, at Kennedy High School and after dating for seven years, we have now been married for 43. We are blessed to have two wonderful girls. Kelli is married to Mike Swan and they attend Mission Hills Church. They have one daughter, Addie (11), and a son, Grayson (7). Karri, our youngest, currently lives in Fort Worth, Texas with her husband Aaron. I have been blessed with a beautiful and caring family.

I attended Colorado State University and have a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I have been in the Mechanical Contracting business for 42 years and was a partner/founder of MTech Mechanical a large commercial HVAC/Plumbing Company. I recently retired at the end of 2021 and am enjoying figuring out the “second half” and looking forward to what God has in store for us. I have too many hobbies including: tennis, biking, skiing, fishing, hunting and more recently pickle ball.

Janis and I have been at Mission Hills for over 42 years; we were married by Pastor Chuck VerStraten. I accepted the Lord as a freshman in college at a weekend retreat at Mission Hills Church. I had the privilege of being baptized as an adult by Pastor Clyde McDowell and rededicated my life to serve him at that time. I have served in numerous leadership positions, and committees including the Facilities and Finance Committee and Co-Chairing the Building Committee through our numerous building projects. I served on the elder board from 2012-2016. It has been exciting to watch the Mission Hills family expand and transform lives through our love for the Lord.
