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
Drummer.  Studio work, live sessions.  I mostly play in church settings and also play for corporate events, celebrations (weddings).  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.
