Vince grew up in the East Bay of California. He frequents coffee shops around the Metro and considers them his office. He also loves snowboarding, jogging, fly fishing, and eating out. Two of his greatest moments of the day is after dinner wrestling with his three kids and spending time talking with his wife. Ministry is just one part of his life that pours out of a Grandfather who invested spiritually in him as a teen and he marks college as the time he decided to give his old life and new life to Christ.

Email Suzanne
Though born in West Virginia, Suzanne spent most of her childhood in Chicago before her family moved to Madison, WI when she was in late elementary school. From an early age Suzanne learned about the Lord, and in her later high school years, she committed her life to a growing relationship with God. Suzanne is a creative woman who is passionate about intimacy with God. She has led many to deeper places with God as they see her genuine hunger for more.
Though Daniel couldn’t see it when he first met her, Suzanne has an amazing sense of humor and loves to laugh! She makes a tasty strawberry-rhubarb pie and enjoys genuine conversation over a bold cup of coffee. Being from Wisconsin, she cheers for the Packers and actually knows what a real cheese curd is (and loves to eat them)!
