Our Pastor
Welcome to Good Shepherd Lutheran School! I am honored to be the pastor to this wonderful school, and I am also a school parent. Our daughter has been attending GSLS since she was 2 years old in the Ladybug class. Long before I became the pastor to the church and school; GSLS has been a central part to my family life.
I love and value the academic standards, community unity, parental connectedness, and extracurricular activities. I have witnessed many students and families enter our school and immediately find a community and thrive.
I am ordained as a Presbyterian minister now serving a Lutheran church and I am sure a joke is out there somewhere, I just can’t think of one off the top of my head. I have pastored churches in Marin, Washington D.C., Oakland and Ukiah.
My wife, daughter, son and dog, happily call Novato our home.
We are raising our children in a fast paced and rapidly changing world, one of my favorite quotes, and I am reminded of this on a daily basis is, “ We Cannot Direct the Wind, But We Can Adjust Our Sails.”
