Getting to Know Associate Pastor Rick

What do you do at Trinity?
As the Associate Pastor I help Pastor Keith in whatever way he needs me to. I fill in for him occasionally, help the evening service leaders as I can, am the go-between with the preschool and the church and I do whatever I can to help Trinity thrive and grow.

How long have you been at Trinity?
My wife and I have been attending for about 2 1/2 years and I have been on staff since 11/23/08.

How did you come to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?
After graduating from USC I took a trip around the world for 2 years that ended with accepting Jesus in my life in a small Anglican church in southern Spain back during the Christmas holiday in 1973.

What do you think God is teaching you right now, at this point in your life?
Probably to continue to take a stronger leadership role which involves a continued dependence upon prayer.

What do you love to do in your spare time?
I love to play golf, hang out at the beach and take trips and have dinners with my wife Wendy.

What is your favorite food?
Probably Mexican is my favorite!

What is one thing most people don’t know about you?
That I was a nine-time national paddle tennis champion ranked #1 in the country from 1981-1988 but that it does not translate over to my golf game (yet)!
