First and foremost, I am an apprentice of Jesus and a devoted family man. My wife, Mandy, and I have been married for 25 wonderful years, and we are blessed with four beautiful and brilliant daughters (ages 21, 19, 17, and 12).

I am a lifelong learner with a deep passion for growth, particularly in the areas of leadership and spiritual formation. Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Applied Biblical Leadership at Western Seminary. I have a special calling to connect with the unchurched, engage skeptics, and invest in the Next Generation.

With over 20 years of ministry experience, I have served in a variety of roles and contexts, including as a church planter/lead pastor, campus pastor, small groups coordinator, next-gen director, and youth and young adult pastor. Additionally, I have been part of the executive team of a multi-site church, with much of my ministry experience rooted in churches with congregations of 5,000+.

Some of my favorite pastimes include taking walks with my family, exploring new places, enjoying good food, reading interesting books, and visiting local coffee shops.
