About My Family
My wife, Megan, and I have been married since 2003, and we have six awesome children. I have served in ministry since 1998, and Megan and I served as missionaries in Haiti.
Our kids love doing ministry alongside us. We enjoy building puzzles together. Many years ago, we proposed to our kids that we stop buying gifts for them at Christmas and birthdays, in exchange for us having travel experiences as a family. They agreed, and they enjoy that so much more. We love seeing and exploring God’s beautiful created world as a family.

About My Church Plant
We moved from Indiana/Louisville, Ky., (and home church of Corydon Baptist) area to southeastern Colorado early in 2022. We’re planting Calvary Las Animas Church in Las Animas. Las Animas means, “The City of Lost Souls.”
Our population is 2,000 people. We have a prison that can house an additional 1,500, two residential addiction treatment facilities that can house about 300 and a county jail that can house about 50.
Las Animas has about eight businesses that make their profits solely from the marijuana industry and six whose profits come from the alcohol industry. There is much spiritual darkness in our community that comes in the form of addictions. We partner with our sister church plant, Calvary La Junta (almost 30 miles away), in a weekly ministry at one of the residential treatment facilities that has been very fruitful.

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.
