What an honor to lead the church I grew up in! As a teenager, I would bring friends from school to my church, and as a result I married one of them! Jenn and I love raising our 4 kids at Osborne and will always champion the next generation to out do us in every way. If you can’t find me at church, you will probably find me hanging out with extended family or wrestling my kids. I love my church community and am passionate about helping others find the same joy I have in knowing Christ. Living with extreme hope and a joyful expectation of God always working towards something good is a big deal for me. I want to champion that kind of hope to live inside of you too. With a heart full of joy and gratitude, I consider it a great privilege to serve and lead you. 

 My wife Pat and I raised our children at Osborne Church, and we have been a part of it's ministries for over 50 years. I have worked as a youth pastor, senior pastor, and associate pastor, and there is no where else I'd call home. The people are what it's all about and I love how everyone at Osborne is considered family. Since my wife went on to be with the Lord, I'm not able to come to church as often as I'd like, but I'm still with you and praying for you. Lately, I mainly minister and speak at the Veteran's Administration in Brentwood, CA where I am currently living. Love you all and I look forward to each time I get to see you all!

I've been attending Osborne since 1998 just before my senior year in high school. I met the love of my life and the rest is history... Husband of a beautiful wife. Father to 5 awesome kids. Pastor. Marine Iraq War veteran. Los Angeles native. Going through several personal breakthroughs, I know the power God has to change people. My passion is to see revival in the Church as the perfect Bride of Christ and walk in the fullness God has for us.

We are beyond excited to lead the youth of Osborne Neighborhood Church! We met 10 years ago in the same room we currently lead youth group in, which is absolutely mind blowing. After serving for 8 years in the young adults ministry here at church we transitioned to leading the youth group. We are excited to see this next generation grow in their relationship with the Lord, make lasting friendships, and bring Gods kingdom here on earth. Outside of ministry we both have a background in the animation industry and enjoy all things creative. When we aren’t at church you can find us going on little adventures with our four kids.

I’m so blessed to be able to do what I love and the reason I can do it is with much prayer, intercession, being in His presence, and reading the Word. Teaching, counseling, setting people free, all is done in the Name of Jesus. My family first started attending ONC the very first Sunday for the evening service in 1952. I had two older sisters at the time. My younger sister was born shortly after, that was the churches first baby shower. I meet my husband at ONC. All of the memories of VBS, camps, choir, Youth For Christ, everything was centered at church. We married in 1970 and had three wonderful sons who love the Lord. They brought us three beautiful daughters and I am blessed to have nine grandchildren.

Osborne Neighborhood Church has been my home church for more than 15 years and throughout those years I have worn several different hats serving here. I love discipleship. It truly is one of the things I find most fulfilling in life, living life with others and walking through the ups and downs of life together. Missions is basically an extension of that. Sharing the Gospel locally and globally, living life with others, and sharing the hope and truth of Jesus Christ in all situations. My years with YWAM are what have given me a passion for the nations. I know missions, no matter the field, is costly, but it is so worth the price! I pray that you would know the joy of being known by Jesus and making Him known… here or on the other side of the world.

I’m so grateful to have Osborne as my church family. I’ve been a part of this Spirit-led, loving community since 2016; where I’ve had the pleasure to serve in various roles. Coming from a long career in the corporate world, I now enjoy serving the Lord full time.  I became a believer during the Jesus Movement and my passion is to see God “do it again.”  Only this time, it will be a much greater move of God, as He brings revival to His whole Church and a global awakening to the goodness and power of His Son, Jesus Christ.
