Born and raised in Montreal, Dom's early faith experiences came from going to a Roman Catholic Church and later experiencing an added understanding of his faith within a Protestant context. The richness of this upbringing led to numerous questions which eventually drew Dom to making a commitment to follow Jesus and pursue pastoral ministry.

Beginning as a youth pastor, Dom was blessed to pour into the lives of youth who were thinking about deep life questions. This taught Dom how important it is to create room for the next generation. Following this opportunity Dom found himself leading university students and young adults in diverse settings.  In this context Dom recognized his passion to teach the Bible and the need to grow in his understanding of the story of Christianity and its rich and complex history. This led him to complete an M.A. in Early Church Studies at Concordia University and most recently completed a PhD in Historical Theology (Wycliffe College, UoT).  Dom finished his studies while working as a teaching pastor and a lead pastor in different churches. This taught him the importance of providing relevant teaching for those unsure of, or unfamiliar with the Christian faith. 

Dom has had the blessing of working and serving in some large churches across Canada. Most recently Dom was the lead pastor of a church that experienced an exciting season of growth while being focused on caring for the community. This passion provided a key partnership with the local community which led Dom to sit on the Board of Habitat for Humanity as the Faith Director. 

Dom's creative approach to visionary leadership impacts every area of the180. Dom is also focused on developing and cultivating a healthy culture at the180. This happens through leadership meetings and in one-on-one conversations. Also, Dom regularly partners with different churches who believe in our vision and who have a deep love for the province of Quebec. Dom's passion for teaching and exploring the Biblical text for a 21st century context shapes our Sunday gatherings and our overall vision.

In addition to providing key leadership with Dom, Bev coordinates all things children at the180. She would be the first to say that it would not be possible if it weren't for some amazing leaders who also help serve our families.

Her passion to see our kids connect with the story of Jesus in a way that is fun and engaging is reflective of the hours she spends preparing lessons and meeting with key leaders. All the while, she has been fending off three boys who think that wrestling with mom is cool. 

If that were not enough, Bev works in a local school and also finds time to pursue her artistic passions.
