I've been privileged to be in parish ministry for 30 years (nine years in Santa Cruz, fifteen years in Sacramento, seven years in Santa Barbara). Being part of the faith journeys of wonderful people--new believers and life-long Christians, seniors and youth, men and women of every age and description--is a blessing to me. The diversity of folks helps makes this church the living body of Christ, vital and ready for ministry in the community and the world. I am privileged to serve First Presbyterian Church of Santa Barbara and am grateful to be working with my colleague, Judith Muller, with this great church staff and these devoted leaders. This is a congregation which loves to worship God and serve Jesus Christ. I appreciate the rich history and warm hospitality of the faith community at First Presbyterian.

Since coming to First Presbyterian Church in 1983 from pastoral ministry in Rutherford, New Jersey, I have been honored to be a part of the service of this congregation as it has faithfully served Jesus Christ in Santa Barbara and beyond. The focus of my ministry has been in pastoral care and I have been enriched by the lives of many who have shared their lives of faith with me. The joy of caring for one another and creating a community which offers support and strength and connection through worship, fellowship and service is the joy of the Lord.
