After 20+ years in church tech, his conviction is simple: the right solution isn't always the easiest one, and the best technology is the kind that gets out of the way so ministry teams can do what they're actually called to do. Away from the keyboard, you'll often find him with a crossword or sudoku -- because apparently he just can't stop solving things.
