Clark studied Music Education at BSU and learned of Red Rock's need for a Music Director through BSU. Clark thinks of himself as a jack of all trades and ia able to learn a lot of new things. Clark has done an amazing job at aiding our tech transition in the last two years.
Clark's favorite scripture is Romans 7 because it shows that all people are deserving of love. This is a life lesson he tries to live by. He loves all outdoors activities. Climbing, fishing, and camping are my favorites. He loves the variety of outdoor opportunities Boise offers. He and his partner regularly enjoy much of the surrounding area.

Chad is from Boise and received his Doctor of Music degree in Piano Performance from Florida State University in 2017. He is blessed with a family who is extremely supportive of his music career and considers Red Rock a second family. Chad loves Boise for the arts scene and the wide variety of ethnic foods available. He enjoys walks, hikes, meeting friends for coffee, tennis, travel, and time with his family. Chad is a roller coaster fanatic!

We love the musicality, professionalism, and humor Chad brings to our church family!
