I grew up in Indiana though that is not where I was born but that is where I call my "growing up" place. It was in youth group that I entered into my passion and love for the Lord and reading the Word. I met, fell in love and married my lovely wife Beth in college. I graduated from Olivet Nazarene Theological University in Kankakee, IL with a degree in Religion and furthered Seminary completing my Master of Christian Education in 1999. I have been in full time ministry ever since serving as Associate Pastor and Lead Pastor in Michigan, Indiana and Florida. I love to hang out with my wife, play board games, and most of all play volleyball. My passion is to lead people into a growing love for Jesus our heavenly Father. Some might say that I get serious when I talk about the Lord, and I am sure that I do, but following the Lord has made a huge difference in my life. I just want the world to know that serving God is the best decision anyone could make, not only here on earth, but for all eternity, and it is a wild and fun journey. I hope everyone I meet can know that too.
