Brendan was raised on the Big Island of Hawaii, where he watched his parents lead thousands of young people to a relationship with Jesus through a missionary organization called Youth With A Mission, aka YWAM. He has traveled to over 20 countries and served extensively in Haiti and Samoa. From a young age, he knew he had a calling to be in full-time ministry but did not know when that calling would come to fruition.

Long story short, Brendan went to college in Washington and studied marketing, ended up in Silicon Valley where he pursued a marketing career in the tech world, met his wife Liz, got married, moved to Orange County during covid, welcomed his first child into the world, and responded to the call on his life for full-time ministry by accepting this role as the Campus Pastor for Eastside Irvine.

He and his wife, Liz, are excited to see how the Lord will use South Orange County's local church to mobilize Jesus-loving people to serve and unleash compassion in nearby communities.
