SANCHEZ, STEVE

Port Orchard

Spouse: Susan
Children: Tony- 6, Ethan- 3, Bethany- 6 months

I will begin a new job as Youth Minister at St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church in August 1993. I’ll be job sharing with my wife Sue. I have been a full time youth minister in Spokane and McMinnville for seven years and have been a Youth Ministry Consultant this past year. I did a lot of youth rallies and conventions. I was a writer prior to that: crime reporting in Northern Idaho and edited a travel section for Senior Citizen’s Bi-weekly in Spokane. I graduated from Seattle University in 1983 after spending two years at St. Thomas Seminary in Kenmore. (I could have been your Pastor!) I met Sue at SU and we were married in 1981. She worked as an Instructional Aide in Spokane and McMinnville before our moving to Port Orchard. I play mostly guitar nowadays (a lot of acoustic ballad stuff) but now and then, when no one is around, I pull out the trumpet!

My occupation: Pastoral Assistant for Youth Ministry, S. Gabriel’s Catholic Church
Spouse’s occupation: Same as mine, job sharing
Travels include: Western U.S., Alaska and one crazy bus ride to Alabama!
Hobbies/Interests: music, computer (Macintosh!!) and MIDI, skiing, biking, sewing and cooking (really!)
Remember most: Mick Moses and the SK Marching Machine
Looking forward to seeing: Just about everybody!
