Born in the high desert of NV, Donald found music later in life. He toured with various bands and ministries, before entering the ministry in 2001. He was a founding pastor of a church in Reno, NV called Living Stones that would grow from a college bible study to a multi-site family of churches. He became an elder in 2004, and has coached many arts and music leaders across the country.

Donald joined the team a few months after Doxa started in 2015. His biggest passions are leadership development, the Sunday gathering, and staff culture. He’s a softball and track coach, photographer, fly fisherman, and raises tropical fish.
