Biography

Sam joined Carey Theological College in 2014 as the Vice President of Operations. He holds a degree in engineering from UBC and brings extensive experience across for-profit, non-profit, and government sectors, focusing on business operations, corporate turnarounds, high-tech start-ups, consulting, and finance. Sam finds great fulfillment in working with the talented and dedicated team at Carey. His faith journey began at age 10 when his father shared the message of Christ with him one night at his bedside. Years later, he had the privilege of leading both of his daughters to Christ, and in a blessed coincidence, his eldest accepted Christ at age 10 in much the same way as Sam did 30 years earlier. He attends New Life Community Church in Burnaby, British Columbia, where he serves as an Elder-at-large. Outside of work, Sam enjoys spending time with his wife of over 20 years and their two teenage daughters.
