What I do:  My role is called Pastor of Care.  Some of the things that I do are visitations, counseling, care funding as well as overseeing ministries such as Vantage Point, First Touch, Center Court and Seniors.

Spouse:  My wonderful spouse’s name is Sandy whom I met at bible school in Saskatchewan.  We have been married for 27 years.  She currently works at Trinity Western University in the Wellness Center assisting international students in their transition to university.

Children:  Nicole (Scotty Erickson) is a full time school teacher in the Abbotsford school district and her husband just recently graduated with his degree in education as well. 
Rachelle is my sales and marketing girl.  She just recently graduated from Langara College and is currently looking to see where God is going to lead her in the future.
Jesse is a full time student at Trinity Western University and is pursuing his degree in business.

Education:  I graduated from Abbotsford Senior Secondary School.  Then after working several years went to Bethany Bible Institute intending to only go for one year but, however, felt a strong call to return to school and graduated after three years.  While youth pastoring in Ontario I went to Ontario Bible College and Seminary.

How I got involved with Northview:  After returning from Ontario we joined a small church that was just starting up called Northview.  That was in 1983.  We have been involved since that time starting as youth workers, care group leaders, Sunday school teachers, Children’s pastor, and now Care pastor.

A few of my favorite things:  I love challenging situations.  I enjoy working with my hands, doing things like renovating and carpentry.  My leisurely past times are golfing, riding bike, playing tennis and hiking with Sandy and friends.
