Vince grew up in beautiful Yakima as the third of four siblings and has lived in Seattle since 2014. He studied philosophy at Whitman College, spent several years growing food in California and Washington, and several more years serving wonderful meals at Canlis. Vince served at St. Luke’s in Ballard as an intern and deacon, and graduated from the hybrid program at Church Divinity School of the Pacific. In his free time, he enjoys fixing/breaking his house while listening to the Mariners, admiring the growth of trees he's planted, going on long runs, swimming in Lake Washington, and making sure his 14-year-old dog, Billie, gets all the love she deserves, which is a lot. Vince married Keiko Budech in 2025 and they live in the Hillman City neighborhood of South Seattle.
