He is a graduate of Upper Columbia Academy in Spangle, Wash., and Walla Walla University. Shaw enjoys building computers and is an avid Seahawks fan.
Marshall McKenzie is joining the Montana conference as the new literature director and outreach coordinator. This new position was made possible by a matured trust, and conference staff are excited with all the possibilities this area will open for literature evangelism. McKenzie and his wife, Rosemary, plus their three children have just returned from Metn, Lebanon, where he was the publishing coordinator in the Middle East and North Africa Union. A graduate of Southern Adventist University in Collegedale, Tenn., Shaw has worked in the Michigan and Wisconsin conferences as a pastor and publishing director.
