When I was in High School I thought that perhaps I would be a teacher, or a lawyer, or even an accountant (this is the most mysterious of my potential career choices because I failed Algebra !! twice).  I had no idea that I would be a Pastor, and I certainly had no idea that I would be a Pastor on a college campus.  The only thing that I knew for certain was that I was going to go to UC Santa Cruz.  I achieved that goal and then at twenty-two found myself at a cross roads which led me into high tech.  I worked at Macromedia, which is now Adobe, within the Creative Services department.  I managed the work flow of six graphic designers.  I had a good job, lived in a great city, and still I found myself wanting something different. I used to watch people at work who were very stressed out and think to myself, “it is just a product launch, this is not a life and death situation.”  At about the same time I joined a local church. As time passed I found that I was more interested in my spiritual community than I was in the high tech world. After several years I decided to follow my heart, and the feeling that I had that God had plans for me. When I decided to become a pastor my family was stunned. I never was very religious and prior to joining the church in San Francisco when I was 24, I had not been to church since I was 15...  And yet today, 10 years later I am a pastor.
