About My Family
I am originally from northwest Maryland, and Mary Kathryn was raised in the Florida Panhandle. We met at Mississippi State University (MSU) where Mary Kathryn played soccer and I served as a graduate assistant with strength and conditioning.
As completion of our degrees at MSU came to fruition, we both joined the staff of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes within the MSU athletic department. We enjoyed eight years of fruitful ministry in Starkville, Miss., and the Lord blessed us with three children along the way: Neely, Charlotte and Jace.

About My Church Plant
Our formative years in ministry have been spent with The Fellowship of Christian Athletes at Mississippi State University. While we loved life inside para-church ministry, the Lord birthed in us a desire to see the local church flourish. Both of us were raised around the church, but it wasn’t until we were in college that a hunger for Jesus developed.
We have a heart for those who have grown numb to the goodness of Jesus as well as for those who may have grown up around church but failed to understand what a relationship with Jesus looks like.
We desire to see faith come to life! We desire to see disciples go make more disciples! We desire to see multiplication.

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.
