A Bit About Me

​I was born in Seoul, Korea, and immigrated to America at age ten. I currently live in California with my wife and our two daughters, enjoying the weather and this incredible creative culture (though the cost of living is another story!)!  

I serve as Executive Pastor of Discipleship and Formation at WestGate Church, a vibrant multi-ethnic, multi-congregational church in the heart of Silicon Valley. I also serve as Church Formation Coach at Practicing the Way. I am the author of Made to Belong: Five Practices for Cultivating Community in a Disconnected World and A Kids Book About Change.

In terms of education, I am a graduate of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary with a M.Div. and Th.M in Theology and Culture. I care deeply about the intersection of spiritual formation, theology, mental health and the cultivation of authentic Christian communities.
