Rick Bundschuh
Wearing the Captain’s Hat at the Anchor House is Rick Bundschuh, a veteran surfer, Youth Pastor, Bible Teacher as well as writer, cartoonist, humorist and one of the founding Pastors who launched both Kauai Christian Fellowship along with this new experience. Still active in the ocean at the tender age of 75, Rick, when dry, is one of the regular staff communicators at the Anchor House as well as a Teaching Pastor at Kauai Christian Fellowship. And he and his wife Lauren happen to live next door to the Anchor House as well. While they may not know it, most of our crew are already kind of familiar with Rick through the book he wrote for Bethany Hamilton called Soul Surfer. With Dr. Pepper in hand, Rick will often be found “talking story” with our learners or sneaking a few out for a surf session at one of his favorite secret spots.
Nate Scribner
Who is that snapping a massive cutback on that wave? It has to be Nate Scribner, the Anchor House co-leader, Tour Guide, Worship Leader and Go-To Guy for lots of the nuts and bolts in everyday living.
Born and raised in Santa Monica, Nate spent time on the football field and in the ocean and in-between graduated with honors from Pepperdine College in Malibu and dove deep in the film business with a specialty in creating motocross action movies. (Check out his 3 part series called The Year of Jubilee here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnEJAAwghok )
A natural goofball, Nate and his wife Allegra (who was born and raised on Kauai) share not only a wild sense of humor, but also a deep, solid faith in Christ.
As the Pastoral presence at the Anchor House, Nate helps our shipmates navigate learning to live in community and balance studies with service and simply having fun.
Emily Curry
Miss Emily Curry, has stepped into the role of the Anchor House Dean of Women.
Emily, originally from New Hampshire, earning her degree from Southern New Hampshire University, has lived on island for the last several years, working as the Kitchen Administrator at Anchor House before taking on the Dean of Women position.

Liv Hagstrand
Liv Hagstrand hails from Portland Oregon and moved to Kauai in 2023 from Reno Nevada to attend AH as a student, then stuck around another year as an RA! After finishing her second year at the Anchor House, she went home to Reno for a brief time then returned to the north shore of Kauai as a live in nanny! Liv enjoys serving those around her and making sure they always feel loved in any way possible… but her go to is always a home cooked meal or treat of sorts! Having worked as both a Barista and a nanny on and off for the past 7 years rejoining AH as the cook and getting to serve others in such a unique way is something she is really looking forward to! When not cooking, Liv enjoys traveling to visit friends or family or heading to her go to spot Australia to visit friends. (Her bucket list spot is Scotland!) Liv also enjoys spending time with friends and doing something crafty, whether that be trying a new recipe, drawing, painting, crocheting, knitting, or picking up a whole new hobby entirely!
