First and foremost, I am an apprentice of Jesus and a devoted family man. My wife, Mandy, and I have been married for 26 wonderful years, and we are blessed with four beautiful and brilliant daughters (ages 22, 20, 18, and 13).

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+.

I currently serve as the Associate Pastor at Abiding Harvest in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, where I lead the charge in helping to revitalize our church and reach the next generation.

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.
