I (Max) am a “child of the Bay” - my great-grandparents on my mother’s side moved here to the East Bay in 1929 to grow strawberries. I was born in Oakland, and moved to Fremont in the early 90s. My wife Monica moved to Hayward with her family from Peru when she was just a few years old. We’re honored and blessed to be have roots that run deep here in the special place - we’ve lived our lives here, started our family here, and we’re honored to have the opportunity to plant Living Hope Church.

I enjoy cycling, reading, growing things, and collecting stuff. Monica is passionate about hospitality, and loves to be curled up in bed with a good book. We would love to meet you!
