Since 2009, I've had the privilege of living in the Downtown Eastside neighborhood of Vancouver, a community facing many challenges. For the first 8 years, I served as the program director for a nonprofit offering free music lessons to low-income families and, more recently, as a technology consultant. In these roles, I've helped nonprofits utilize innovative tools to enhance their missions. Currently, I work at Salesforce as a Solution Architect.
Since 2014, I've served on the board. This experience has strengthened my belief in the power of God’s love and relationships to bring about change. As a gay and affirming individual, I strive to bridge gaps on divisive issues within the Christian community, holding on to the hope of unity across all parishes, inspired by 1 Corinthians 1:10.
