And now some notes on our leaders!

Say hello to Angela. She’s a therapist for Gardner Mental Health Clinic…but don’t hold that against her! It just means that she’s reeeeeallly really good at listening to people. The fact that she’s been working with kids and teenagers for almost 10 years doesn’t hurt either. She also happens to be about 5’0”, so if you happen to swing by our way sometime you could actually mistake her for an 8th grader. Well…that is until you see her up front leading games for the youth group, which she tends to do. So, if you ever find yourself trying to eat 20 jalapeño pork rinds in 2 minutes, she’s gonna be the one you wanna thank for it.
Wes is a video game tester. No, for real…he is. He works for Namco and gets PAID to PLAY VIDEO GAMES! Stay in school kids, you just might get paid one day to do the stuff your teachers told you not to do! Either way, Wes is more than a pair of ridiculously strong thumbs, he also happens to be loud and full of great jokes! (Well…um…maybe just “jokes”) If you happen to swing by Wildside sometime, just look for the biggest guy with the biggest voice and you’ve found Wes. You’re welcome.
Andy is our resident rock guru. Anything you want to know about bands such as Rush, Iron Maiden, KISS, AC/DC, and many, many others can be learned from Andy Allen. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg with this guy! He’s been working with teenagers longer than any of the rest of us…which can either be an insult or a compliment depending on your math skills. But really though, this guy can either show you the ropes at a game of pool, or teach you an F#m chord on the guitar…your choice.
John is our youth pastor. He tends to talk waaay too much and falls down a lot.
Garret is our newest recruit, and a long time friend of Wes. Garret is married to Rachel, and they are expecting their first child in April, who they are naming Clark after Garret's favorite childhood superhero. He enjoys Christian Ska music, and the occasional Japanese Animation. He was born and raised in the bay area, and attended Saratoga Presbyterian Church before meeting Rachel. He is currently looking for a job in the video game business as a programmer.
