Dave grew up locally in Auburn attending area schools and enjoying all the outdoor activities the Sierra Foothills have to offer. The Lord in His grace saw fit to save him from his sins in his early teens and he has been a part of Foothill Christian Fellowship from its inception. After completing his undergraduate work at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, Dave entered into education, teaching for twelve years at various grade levels K-12. He also enjoyed coaching basketball at Colfax High School for much of that time. In 1992-94 the Lord provided an opportunity to study at the Master’s Seminary in Sun Valley, CA, and upon his return to the Auburn area he began to serve as a pastor at FCF. In 2000 Dave stepped away from his teaching position at Colfax High to serve full-time in pastoral ministry at Foothill. Dave met and married his wife, Susie, right out of college in 1988 and they have two children, Justin (married to Shaina) and Hannah. In his spare time he enjoys working with his hands and being in the outdoors fly-fishing, backpacking, and motorcycle riding.

Jim serves as Chairman of the Elder board and currently owns and operates a commercial and residential real estate company in Roseville.  When Jim is not working in some capacity, he enjoys time on the potters wheel or time on the golf course. His passion is the Word of God, being involved with people, and serving the Lord with all of his life. He loves shepherding people and challenging others to grow in the knowledge of Christ & serving the Lord.
