Vocation
I’ve had the privilege to serve Hoehn Motors as a corporate chaplain/staff care consultant since 2006, providing crisis care, character development and personal growth, spiritual care, pastoral counseling, and social responsibility management initiatives.  This is where my site name came from:  it’s what the people I care for call me chappy (short for chaplain).

I also started SquarePatch –> “We’re about deep care and journeying with others. We listen and pay attention to what’s happening in everyday life to provide support without judgment. We believe that no one is a stranger.”

Education
Masters in Applied Ministries (pastoral care and counseling), Bethel Seminary
Certificate in Spiritual Direction, University of San Diego
Doctorate of Ministry Candidate, Fuller Seminary

Music
Semi-professional drummer.  Mostly play in church settings and also play for corporate events, celebrations (weddings), and studio work.  Dreaming about becoming a music director.  Favorite drummers right now:  Robert “Sput” Seawright, Chris “Daddy” Dave, Anderson Pak.  Genres:  gospel, r&b, pop, latin jazz, jazz

Family
Married with two boys!!  My wife is favorite musician and worship leader.  I also enjoy cycling, swimming, and running.  I’ve done a few triathlons and hope to do a half-ironman at some point.
