meet the staff

Nick van Santen

Minister to College and University Students
510-280-6164
I hail from the great potato state of Idaho. I graduated from a small private school with a degree in history. Following college, I found myself in seminary for three years on the east coast. I arrived in Berkeley in the summer of 2008 and I feel like I have returned to my long lost bay area home. I love to ride my bike on roads with names like Skyline and Wildcat.
A large and amazing part of my job is working closely with undergrad students as they learn, develop, and explore this wild and crazy place we call Cal Berkeley. I would love to chat with you, grab a cup of coffee or the lunch special at the Thai house. Feel free to email me: nickv@fpcberkeley.org.

I LOVE Lafayette which is my hometown, so if you ever want a tour I would be more than happy to show you :) I just gradutated from the University of California Berkeley and have a B.S in Nutrition. I plan to get my Masters in Nursing and eventually become a nurse practitioner.  I am the middle child between two sisters, Natalie and Hayley; and my parents, Bob and Robin still live in Lafayette. I am also recently married to Chris Wilson.

Galt, CA, a small town in the central valley.  I spent four years in Chico, California, and just graduated from Chico State in May 2009 with a degree in Business Administration.  I have been on staff with FoCUS since July 2009, and I am excited for what this next year will bring. For fun I like to do all things sports, including cycling, basketball, raquetball, and ultimate frisbee.  I also love to play guitar, read, and watch intense action movies. I am also recently engaged and will be getting married in April 2011. E-mail me at dannyp@fpcberkeley.org.
