He grew up in Mexico as a child of missionary parents. John graduated from Abilene Christian University with a B.A. and holds a Masters degree in marriage and family therapy. He has been in ministry for 27 years and has a passion to help teens own and live out their faith. John also serves as the chaplain for Saddleback Valley Christian schools in San Juan Capistrano. Although ministry keeps John pretty busy, he still finds time to weave some of his favorite past-times into the fabric of everyday life. John loves people and he enjoys good food.
