About the Watermark Care team…
Dave Bruskas
Dallas TX
Executive Director of Discipleship
I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico (yes, I have seen every episode of “Breaking Bad”) in an unbelieving home. As a preteen, my mom and dad came to faith. I began attending church religiously but did not yet know Jesus. At a weekend youth retreat, a student pastor sat down with me, opened his bible and explained the gospel to me. I was left with two powerful impressions. I was guilty of rebelling against God and He loved me by offering forgiveness through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. I turned away from living apart from God and trusted Jesus to forgive me from my sin and free me to live for him.
I sensed a call to ministry at the young age of sixteen. After working for a few years as an accountant at Price Waterhouse (now PWC) here in Dallas, I attended Dallas Theological Seminary and began three decades of pastoral ministry in the local church. I joined the Watermark team in April 2023 as the Director of re:generation. I have been married to Kara for thirty-five years. We have four daughters, three sons-in-law and six grandchildren. We love watching Jesus transform broken lives while serving the next generation of church leaders.

Round Rock TX
Pastor / Elder
Biblical Counselor
I have been involved in and around the biblical counseling movement since 2005. I have a masters in Marriage and Family Counseling from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary with undergraduate work in Theology.
My family moved to Austin in January of 2018 to serve as Pastor of Soul Care at Radiant Church. I have also served regionally in a soul care collective with several other partnering churches and is a consultant with Soul Care Consulting.
Before moving to Austin, I spent three years in Canada as the Pastor of Biblical Soul Care for Harvest Bible Chapel in Muskoka. During that time I also served in a directing/consulting role for a network of church plants in Ontario. Prior to being in Canada I pastored The Village Church in North Texas for nearly 10 years.
I married Andrea, and we have four children, Luke, Abel, Leah, and Miriam. I enjoy spending time with my family and working on stained glass art when I have some down time.
My most formative book other than the Bible: All Things for the Good by Thomas Watson
