Michael Ishimaru

I've always wanted to be a youth pastor ever since my sophomore year in high school. That summer I went to Hume Lake, I commited my life to serving God in whatever capacity that meant. I originally wanted to do overseas missions but after several attempts decided to just find a job and work while going to school. I studied graphic design for a time before switching to computer science then back to graphics and then spiraled down to Feudal Japanese Anthropology for a semester and finally back to graphics.

There's been days where I just don't know where God will take me next. I've lived in Southern California for most of my life but just recently moved up to NorCal where things have really gotten interesting. In the span of around 8 months, I've managed to get a job doing what I love and doing it with people I really care about.

What more could you ask for?
