Glenn became a Christ follower before his senior year at the University of Hawaii. He graduated with a degree in Business but pursued the calling to expand God’s Kingdom with Campus Crusade for Christ. God built on that dream and placed a desire to start a faith community where love would flow freely and people were a voice of hope.  

In 1994, he got his M. Div. from Talbot School of Theology in California to prepare for this calling. Glenn returned to Hawaii and served on staff with a local church, only to be laid off a year later.  At that time he met the love of his life, Rika, who amazingly agreed to marry him.They have three cute kids thanks to her.

He eventually went on staff with New Hope Oahu, and in 1999 he gathered a group of eleven friends in a living room in Ewa and began New Hope Kapolei. Glenn is addicted to Peet’s coffee but will settle for Starbucks. He loves fishing, epic movies, hanging out with friends and family in his spare time.
