Born to a plumber and school teacher, I was raised in San Jose, California where today my wife Martha and I live in the very house where I was raised. Baptized and confirmed Lutheran, Christ became more real to me in high school where I dedicated my life to Him and joined a large non-denominational church. With a desire to serve Christ, I went to Liberty University where I earned a BS, Fuller Theological Seminary for an MA, Union Presbyterian Seminary for a Master of Divinity and Columbia Theological Seminary for a Doctor of Ministry degree.
I have served a variety of Presbyterian churches in Virginia (Danville & Arlington), Texas (Plano), southern California (Chino Hills & Hemet) and the San Francisco Bay Area (Fremont) including doing a new church start up. I also served at CityTeam Ministries in San Jose where I first became acquainted with FPC Mountain View as a guest preacher in 1989. I added being a real estate broker to help new church startups locate adequate worship facilities.

On March 3, Rev. Kim Dorr-Tilley was unanimously called as the new Pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Mountain View. She led worship and the sermon was titled, "A Discourse on Discipleship". She focused on the Beatitudes, and included references to one of her favorite theologians, Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He was a Lutheran minister, a man of great courage, and follower of Christ. On April 9, 1945, he was hanged at Flossenburg, Germany, only days before the Americans arrived.
