About My Family
I am a husband to Natasha, and we have raised three boys: Jacob, Lucas (married to Alyssa) and Caleb (who is a junior in college and the youngest of the three). I am currently a site manager and customer service manager for Trialon Corporation, which is a commercial test house. Natasha is a sixth-grade teacher in the local public school system.
I have nearly 12 years of full-time, senior pastor experience, all in one church. During that 12 years, the church experienced significant growth in average morning worship attendance—from 70 to 210. I resigned in 2018 of my own accord. I hold degrees from Southern Seminary (Th.M., completed this fall) and Asbury Seminary (D.Min.).

About My Church Plant
Upon resigning from full-time ministry, my wife and I sought the Lord's leading with open hearts. Through a sequence of events, we were invited to consider planting a church with NAMB. Upon saying "yes," we had within a week two families who were not aware of our "yes" to NAMB, approach us about starting a church. We began the first Sunday in March 2020, met three weeks before being shut down because of the COVID pandemic, met online, re-started the last Sunday in May and are closing out 2020 with approximately 45 people in regular attendance.
I provide the church with a steady diet of expository preaching. I continually find ways to disciple the body. We started Sunday School in August, and we have a weekly, mid-week Bible study to provide encouragement.
I believe today's church needs much more Jesus and much less world.

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.
