My wife, Katherine, and I have been attending St. David’s since 2000. We have been in our family-based Shepherd Group for the past six years, which has grown to ten adults and ten children. Katherine, Connor and I generally attend and thoroughly enjoy the 9:00 AM Service, Adult Homily, Wednesday Night Discipleship Classes with Rev. Mary Kay Brown, and Family Fellowship Nights. Our son, Connor, also attends the St. David's Preschool.

While at St. David's, I have been involved in the following:

• Creation of the first Communications Team
• Creation and maintenance of the first St. David's Web site
• Implementation of the Web-based Parish Profile in support of the Rector search
• Active involvement in the first Spiritual Gifts Ministry Team
• Creation of the on-line Spiritual Gifts Assessment
• Planning and execution of the "Get Connected" Ministry Fair
• Managing the total redesign of the St. David’s Web site to the current sdlife.org design and content layout
• Active member of the current volunteer Communications Ministry Team
• Managing and maintaining the layout, content, calendar and functionality of the current sdlife.org Web site
• Maintained the Mercer Festival site pre- and post-festival (in support of the Mercer Festival)
• Building and maintaining the St. David’s Advent Calendar with daily postings (in support of the Young Family Ministry)
• Enhancing the Web presence of the preschool
• Enhancing the Web presence of the Parents of Preschoolers (POPS) organization
• Supporting the planning and execution of the Rocknocerous Concert & Silent Auction online

This work has given and continues to give me tremendous involvement and insight into the goings on across the entire spectrum of St. David’s.

Professionally, I have 17 years of experience in both large and small companies in performing the functions of financial analysis, business analysis and technology project/program management. I have been a technology program manager for eight years and am also a Project Management Institute (PMI) certified Project Management Professional (PMP.)

For the past six years, I have been a program manager for San Diego-based Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc. implementing smart card-based Automated Fare Collection (e.g. SmarTrip) systems across the Washington/Baltimore regional rail and bus transit systems. I also manage the day-to-day operations of our Washington/Baltimore regional office.

Earlier this year, I felt an unplanned but tremendously strong call from God to be a part of the Vestry. I had the fortunate opportunity of attending the Vestry Retreat in February on behalf of the Communications Team and the parish as a whole. It was a tremendous experience and I felt warmly welcomed as an integral part of the retreat. Being part of the retreat also reinforced God’s call and my need and desire to further share my gifts of Service, Administration and Leadership (as well as logic and organization) as a member of the Vestry.

I feel extremely blessed to have been selected by the Vestry members to fill the open Vestry position and hope to continue to serve the parish well in this capacity.
