David Hansen, Musician
David was born in Spokane, Washington, but grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah. He grew up in a devout Mormon family, including serving as a missionary for a few years before coming out and leaving the leaving the Mormon church. However, his love of church music never faded. Even during all the other jobs David had, he remained diligent in work as professional musician. After many years of living in Utah, David and his partner Rob relocated to Maine.
Prior to his arrival in August 2021, David served Faith Lutheran Church for 20 years as their musician. He is absolutely thrilled to be here and cannot wait to get to know the congregation. He is looking forward to expanding our music program, both in the congregation and greater community.
David lives in South Portland with his partner, Rob. Outside of his church responsibilities David enjoys time by the ocean, good food, and being mistaken for a Keebler elf.
