Over two decades ago I decided to attend Oakdale. I found Jesus and never left. 

Here I serve as the Regional and International Impact Pastor. I bring a love for prayer, a heart for internationals and a passion for trying new and exciting things to my role. These gifts help me connect with and support our diverse community both locally and globally.

Though I'm a bit shy and prefer one-on-one interactions, I'm working to step out of my comfort zone. I am passionate about God, witnessing His answers to prayers, and helping the hurting find hope and healing. 

I've been married to John for over three decades, and we have two grown children and three grandchildren, with another on the way. Despite being a picky eater, I'm told I'm a good cook, which might be why I love feeding people!
