A few things about me…

  • I’m a musician.

  • I live in Los Feliz, a neighborhood in Los Angeles, and love it because it’s very walkable.

  • I have a BA in biblical studies & Masters in theological studies from Vanguard University.

  • I was a pastor for 5 years and in church leadership for 15. 

  • I completed a 2 year training in spiritual direction with Sustainable Faith (2 year ESDA approved program).

  • I have two kiddos Lucia and Shep and have been married to my wife Suz for 17 years.

  • My favorite place in the world is Iceland. It’s majestic beauty captivated me and I felt a peace there unlike anything I have ever experienced. Most of the images on this website are from my trip there.

My personal spiritual direction journey

I have experienced spiritual direction to be a place of great spiritual growth and connection with God, in a way other avenues could not. Someone holding safe space for you to process the movements of God, listen well, and ask clarifying questions has been very helpful for my theology, discernment and mental health. 

My interest is seeing people grow in wholeness, “The glory of God is a human being fully alive” I enjoy listening and want to listen to God with you. 

I have a passion for music and believe there can be healing in sound. I use the sounds and the music of crystal singing bowls and other instruments to hold space for contemplation and quieting the mind. This kind of ambient sound bath has been healing for me personally and is optional to incorporate in our spiritual direction sessions.
