Favorite Memory Here at Fox

Every September, in the quad the Fire Department torches a mock residence hall room.  I love to watch the faces of students as they "get" the implications of what they are observing.  Another September event is the Main Event.  Watching 600-800 students participating in an "almost out of control" middle school type sports day is extremely fun.

Favorite place to hang out in Portland/Newberg

I have an event rather than place.  The Portland Highland Games is the most fun-kilts, bagpipes, drums, swords, wanna-be Scots, and meat pies.  Almost a taste of heaven... 

Family

I was married some decades ago to my wife (Heather).  We have two outstanding sons (Caleb and Samuel), both taller than us, and anticipating college in the very near future.  It might sound trite, but I love any time I get to spend with my family.

Hobbies and other interesting facts

After a few minutes of conversation, you will pick up that I am "not from these parts."  We were all born in Canada, but have lived in the US since the late '90s.   In a nerdy way, I love to read and watch movies.  Truthfully, my boys would say that we live a fairly boring life. 

Typical Coffee Cottage drink you order

Big Train Chai-you can't get it at the Cottage!

Favorite Scripture Verse
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
Phillipians 2:5-8
