At the age of 17, I immigrated to the United States from New Zealand and began to pursue the “American Dream”. After working in the banking industry, I started a business with a partner that constructed Boat Storage Marinas in the United States and overseas. When I was 38 years old I took a cross country camping trip that ended up in Modesto, where I received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. While in Modesto I began attending Calvary Chapel and came on staff as an administrative pastor in 2002.
