After graduation, I packed up all of my belongings and headed to California to attend GoldenGate Baptist Theological Seminary where I received my M.Div. in May of 2009. In October of 2008 Shannon and I welcomed a new member into the family, Carsyn Rae Cunningham, our beautiful, rambunctious and curious daughter. She has been a joy and a blessing to both of us.  A little over 2 years later, on January 4th 2011, we welcomed into the world our second child, Cruz Nathaniel Cunningham, a smiling and healthy baby boy!  We are learning how to do life with one newborn and a 2 ½ year old bouncing off of the walls!

I have just finished my Masters of Theology with a concentration in Historical Theological studies at Golden Gate and am now serving in full time ministry at New Life.

Passions:

Pleasures:

When I’m not doing school, working or spending time with family, I can often be found paddling into the line-ups at local surf breaks including Linda-Mar, Ocean Beach and Bolinas to name a few. While I was raised in Oklahoma, I grew up spending a lot of time at my grandparent’s house, who live near the beach in Texas. I quickly developed a love for the ocean and everything surrounding it. That love has never left me. I feel at home in the water and never want to leave the coast again. I also enjoy recording music in my makeshift home studio. Finally, I can’t get enough of watching Carsyn and Cruz develop, grow and learn new things. There’s just nothing better than that! These are just a few of the things I enjoy doing on a regular basis.

Dreams:

To see God move in a miraculous way in the surf community.
