As an Indigenous man, I am blessed with the gift of story telling and plan to use this gift to tell the story of Calvary to all who come and to those outside these doors.

During the week, you'll find me in my office or in the halls talking with someone and on Sundays youll see me in the tech booth. If you want to get to know more about me, stop me and say hi. I'll more than likely stop and talk because I am a social butterfly.
