Other paths I've walked

 

In addition to my employment above, I have also participated in various leadership capacities at Eastside Christian Church (Vacaville), Central Christian Church (San Jose), Burlingame Presbyterian Church (Burlingame), and Calvary Lutheran Church (Millbrae). I spent several years writing songs and traveling as a musician with True Faith, a Filipino singing group from California, and Won By One, college worship band from San Jose. In between ministry jobs, I worked for Encore corporate catering, drove delivery and container trucks for DHL, and cooked in the school kitchen.

And that's far more than you ever really wanted to know, now, isn’t it! 😉
