DEEP CALLS TO DEEP
I believe in disrupting societal norms to live differently — to really live. I care about activating young people into a missional lifestyle and catalyzing missional leaders in the marketplace. In inspiring human flourishing and contentment, I hope to spark imagination of an uncommon life well-travelled and well-lived.
I.
The Tentmaker
travel globally.
A tentmaker whose home is on the road for 20 years: from Cambodia to China, Copenhagen to California, I now serve in an urban ministry in San Francisco, attend seminary at Biola, and raise my two little kids.
II.
The Filmmaker
tell stories.
A writer-turn-filmmaker, I spent 15 years telling sports stories and helped launch the Olympic Channel. In 2018, I then launch eight parables to create beautiful short films that awaken the soul and make you ponder.
III.
The Changemaker
transform lives.
A global changemaker with two decades of experience in the social impact space, I now serve as Director of Partnerships at University of San Francisco to train up leaders in humanitarian and international affairs.

Deconstructing ‘counting the cost’, global missions and the ordinaries as I beheld His invitation, asking, “Will you steward an alabaster jar for Me?”
A childlike faith step into the second half of His adventure
Like coming out of the half-time break into the second half in sports, the start of Adventure 2.0 beckons for me this month after a 40-month pause.
