About

Follower of Jesus, Husband to Jenny, Dad to Ella, Ryder & Miles. Founding Pastor of Awakening Church in Silicon Valley,

Hi, my name is Ryan

I’ve been married to my incredible wife Jenny since 2002. We have 3 amazing kids who are growing up way too fast – Ella, Ryder & Miles.

Jenny and I have been in pastoral leadership for nearly 2 decades together. In the fall of 2012, we started out on the wild adventure of planting Awakening Church in the heart of Silicon Valley. Our journey has been filled with highs and lows, and I want to be able to share some of what we’ve learned along the way.

By God’s grace, Awakening is a thriving church reaching tons of young people in the heart of one of the least churched places in America.

We have a passion for seeing this generation awaken to new life in Jesus and coming alongside leaders.
