About My Family
I am passionate about seeing people love Jesus. Taylor and I will celebrate our fifth anniversary this year in June. She recently completed her master’s degree in counseling and has begun work for an agency.
We also became parents in 2022. Our daughter, Blakely Grace, was born on October 1st. We are loving our new normal as parents and church planters. I love reading books, listening to sermons and watching NASCAR races. Together, Taylor and I enjoy traveling to new places and eating good food. We are also kept busy by our Australian Shepherd, Bella. Our life is full of blessings!

About My Church Plant
We planted Ascent in our hometown of Fargo, Okla., in September 2019. I was interested in planting in a more populated area, but God called us to start a life-giving church in the place where we grew up. Our heart was broken for the people we knew and loved that were without the grace of Jesus in their lives.
It has been difficult at times, but we are making progress. Our church building is located in a town of 300 people and the population is poorer than the national average. By God’s grace, we average around 80 people in weekly gatherings and have seen several baptisms. We have seen a good number of people who have truly become disciples of Christ at Ascent.

NAMB Church Planting
Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.
