Paul Karpus
I grew up in Pleasanton, Ca and moved to Sonora for school at Columbia College. I met my wife there and have since married and have two kids. I love the mountains and the rivers this area has which is why we call it home. THBC has become a place to raise my family and I want to help meet the needs of the church and help it grow.
