■About Today's Preacher
"I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. I consider myself a cradle Catholic who has enjoyed spending the last five years deconstructing my spiritual beliefs and I am happy to have landed at FIUCC. I attended Gonzaga University, where I took up to 500 level courses in theology and philosophy. I obtained my law degree from the University of Washington. I’ve spent my 25-year career in public service as a prosecutor, while juggling the demands of four kiddos (two girls and two boys) ages 15-22. I’m fortunate to have Chris as my partner in life, who keeps me grounded. I enjoy running, baking, calligraphy and good food!"
