Garrett was raised in San Francisco in a Reform Jewish home. Being Jewish was important to him and his family, but they never talked much about God. In his 20’s after working a couple of years in finance he went to the far east for a couple of years to live out the eastern philosophies he had been studying. He eventually ended up in Israel, where he had a radical encounter with God. A couple years later he came on staff with Jews for Jesus where he served for 12 years in various areas around the country until 2007.

Since that time he has served as a pastor at a local church in Boston. “Their first Jewish pastor,” he likes to say. In 2026, he and his wife, Nicole felt the call to come back on staff with Jews for Jesus and start up a branch in Boston. He has a Bachelor of Arts in Business/Economics from UC Santa Barbara and a Masters of Divinity from Gordon Conwell. He received his Doctorate in Marriage and Family counseling with a thesis on counseling Jewish interfaith couples. He also wrote the book, “Comfortably Jewish” to help interfaith families enjoy their Jewish heritage.
