Dan and Jane met at Southwestern College in Oklahoma City, where Dan was studying theology and Jane was pursuing a nursing degree. He graduated with a B.A. in Religion, and went on to complete his M.A. in Theology at Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, California, while Jane became an RN. They were blessed with two beautiful daughters who now reside in Camarillo as well.

They have been the senior pastors of the Vineyard in Camarillo since planting the church in 1982.

Both Dan and Jane have a passion for the Kingdom of God. They carry the conviction that another "Great Awakening" is beginning to unfold in California, and they live to see the time when millions come to Christ in this beautiful state.
