My name is Dale. I’m 30. I live in California.

I love Jesus.

And I love my wife and kids, too. A lot.

We moved to California in early 2009 so I could work for a radio station.

I was born in Nashville, TN. I grew up outside Richmond, VA. I met my wife in Tulsa, OK. I wish I could be in all three of those cities more often.

According to the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator, I’m an “INFP” with “ENFP” tendencies. Idealism and strong values shape me … and I’m very imaginative and loyal. According to StrengthsFinder, my top 5 strengths are Connectedness, Adaptability, Ideation, Input, and Belief.

My passion is encouraging others into a more profound way of walking with Jesus. I believe it’s possible to love Jesus in new (but ancient) ways.

I serve at my church by helping create and coordinate visual media for our Sunday worship gatherings. I love when media and technology enhance an already beautiful worship experience.

My family sponsors 3 children from Ethiopia though Compassion International. Without a doubt, it’s been the most impactful thing I’ve ever been a part of … knowing that my monthly financial gift is literally changing the lives of 3 children on the other side of the planet.

I’m also passionate about plain-spoken Christian theology that takes the Bible seriously and points people to the red letters in Scripture. I identify with the Anabaptist movement but constantly look for Truth in unconventional places.

And I believe that Rob Bell is not a heretic.
