Years on Cathedral staff: Since 1994

Prior work experience: Director of Music, St. Timothy's Church in West Des Moines, Iowa

Favorite Bible verse: Psalm 60:6: Fuisti spes mea turris munitissima a facie inimici. (You have ever been my hope, a tower of strength in the face of adversity.)

Thoughts and hopes for the future of the Cathedral: That it should be a model of holiness, sacred beauty, kindness and, above all, justice, for these are the things that concern a Christian most.
