What is your role at HOPE, in your own words?
I steward how we use audio, visual, and lighting technologies in live and syndicated environments across HOPE to amplify the message of the Gospel and our mission with clarity, creativity, and excellence.
What’s your favorite verse/passage of scripture and why?
My favorite passage of scripture is the Torah. I’m a bit of an ancient near eastern studies nerd. It is also, narratively, incredibly rich in how God progressively reveals himself to his people, and through Christ, to the world.
What’s something that brings you joy?
Time with friends in small settings. Good Coffee. Taking time to see and recognize the beauty and good in others and the world around me.
What’s your go-to comfort food or coffee order?
Food: Air-fried Spiced Gnocchi with Bresola. Coffee: Espresso Tonic.
If you could instantly become an expert in something, what would it be?
Everything! Realistically, biblical studies and/or psychoacoustics.
What’s something people might not know about you?
I read about 200 books a year. I love hosting dinner parties (anywhere from a few friends to 40+ people).
