I grew up in church, but instead of knowing Jesus, I only knew religion. This led me to live a very hypocritical lifestyle. By the time I was in college, from the outside looking in, it seemed like I had everything together in my life. I had joined the military and was getting paid to go to college. I was studying to become a financial planner and expected to make a six figure income shortly after completing my degree. I had joined a fraternity and had access to all the alcohol, drugs and girls that I desired. In spite of all of that, on the inside I was broken, depressed, and empty as I searched through the world for something to satisfy my void.

I radically encountered God in a rock bottom moment, as I was facing a felony charge, going through a bad breakup, and as my dad was rushed to the emergency room with unknown issues. As a result, everything in my life changed from the inside-out. Instead of pursuing my own life plans, God rerouted my life into full-time ministry. After joining a local church, I began to voluntarily serve for several years. Over time, that led into a church staff position. I’ve now had the opportunity to wear many hats in the body of Christ including: administration, overseeing media, sound, & lights, outreach ministry director, prison ministry, worship leader, associate pastor, evangelist, and many other assignments that have arisen within ministry. God has expanded His reach through the ministry, as He’s sent us out to preach the Gospel and equip other churches throughout the nations of the world.

God has given me a beautiful wife named Abigail, and blessed us with two lovely children named Nora and Will. Abigail is currently on staff at our church as the Worship Pastor. Our hearts desire is to love God, love others, and walk as Jesus walked.
