I’m Tim Etherington. I’m the pastor of Trinity Community Church [1] in Lancaster in southern California and teach computers at Antelope Valley College [2]. I am married to Lisa and we have three successful, grown kids: Ben, Bernadette, and Gil. Lisa and I own a golden retriever named Linus who is a Very Good Dog™. I grew up in a suburb of Detroit, spent 22 years in the Air Force, and jokingly say that I’m on my third career. Retire early and retire often, I guess.
I have an associates degree in applied avioinics from the Community College of the Air Force, a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Chapman University and a Masters of Divinity from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. For hobbies I spend too much time on the internet and infrequently blog. I also like to read, do pretty well on New York Times crossword puzzles, and can hold my own at Scrabble. Oh, and I brew my own beer.
