  Who We Are

  David was born in Orange County but grew up in New England, where he endured icy winters and humid summers but enjoyed the crisp springs and golden falls more than words can express. He returned West to attend college. There, as an undergraduate, he attempted to write the Great American Novel. It was not great, but it was good enough to earn him a scholarship to Ireland where he traveled and spoke as an Ambassadorial Scholar and wrote more of the novel, earning a Master’s in Writing at the National University of Ireland along the way. Returning to California, he discerned the Lord’s call to ordained ministry and attended Fuller Theological Seminary, where he earned his Master’s in Theology. For the past twelve years, he has served as co-pastor of Zoe Church in San Juan Capistrano. During this time, he earned his Ph.D. from the University of California, Irvine, completing his dissertation, “After Tragedy: The Romance of the Lowly God” in the field of Medieval & Renaissance Literature.
