Tell us about your family.
I’ve been married to my love and partner in ministry, Braelyn, since 2004 and we have a beautiful daughter, Micelli, and three beach boys, Brixton, Zion, and Tiger Tov. We are also a foster family and have fostered five cute-as-can-be little angels over the last few years.

Describe your job here at The River.

Surfing with Micelli, Brixton, and Zion (Tiger will be getting tubed with us in no time)!
