Hey, I'm Craig, and I am all about helping people discover biblical truths that lead to real life change—and seeing that transformation ripple into the lives of others through the gospel—is one of the greatest joys in my life. I want everyone at Mountainview to experience that for themselves! That’s why I’m so passionate about groups. I believe life change happens best in circles, not rows.
When I’m not leading or connecting people into community, you’ll most likely find me outdoors. I love to fish—especially for salmon—and I’m always up for time on the water or relaxing on a sandy beach. During the warm Willamette Valley summers, our family spends as much time as we can on the beaches of the Columbia, soaking up the sun and enjoying water sports. My wife, Tonya, and I also love hopping on our bikes and exploring the trails around the Portland metro area. And no matter the season, I’m always ready to fire up the smoker for some “low and slow” barbecue.
Tonya and I have been married for 38 years, and I’m so grateful for the life we’ve built together. We have two incredible kids: our daughter, Jordan, who lives in Boston, and our son, Spencer, who lives in Salem with his wife, Christina.
