Other skills that I have which could be valuable on the Vestry: Deliberate decision making; Familiarity with financial statements and reports; Calm demeanor.
Special hobbies/interests which I enjoy: Family; USC football; Dodger baseball.
The area of ministry that interests me most is: People of Coffee (formerly known as Coffee guys) – 15 years and counting.
