About My Family
I was born and raised in Oklahoma and am native of the Tulsa area. My wife, Margo, was born in Missouri but considers Tulsa her hometown. We met at a collegiate ministry called Baptist Colligate Ministries (BCM) at Tulsa Community College. We got to work there and serve college students together for a couple of years. We got married in February in 2024.
I love ministry, and for the past four years, I’ve had the opportunity to serve at churches in the youth or college ministry.
Since the start, we both have had a huge heart for missions and ministry. We got to lead a short-term mission trip in July 2024 and felt a great burden for the lost and unreached people in Utah. In January of 2025, we will move to Utah to be laborers to the harvest in West Valley.

About My Church Plant
Our ministry includes serving with ValleyLight Church in West Valley City, Utah, which is the only non Latter-Day Saints (LDS) church in the 30,000-person ZIP code. People are hearing about the true gospel here for the first time. There have been multiple salvations and over 20 baptisms in the last year. LDS members are searching desperately, and they need to hear about Christ! God is moving in this people group; we just need more laborers for the harvest.
My role at Valley Light will be a pastoral resident. This means I’ll get the opportunity to learn and serve in multiple church ministries and help lead our mission teams in the summer. My wife’s role will be the children’s director. She’s excited to minister to the kids and to disciple them in Christ.

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.
