Theo and his wife Dorothy both grew up in the Bay Area, but met at UCLA during their undergraduate studies. There they shed their loyalties to the Bay, having been convinced by the tacos that Los Angeles is better after all. But God, in his wisdom, has brought Theo and Dorothy back to Berkeley to serve Vinewood CFC and the community, which they do with great joy. Theo received his M. Div. from The Master's Seminary, and is eager to preach the Word and to cultivate a love for the Scriptures among the church family. When he isn't studying, writing, or meeting with church members, he is enjoying beautiful things like men's clothing, specialty coffee, music, properly-cooked meats, and sunsets.
