About My Family
I am grateful that I have been married to my college sweetheart, Chastity, for the past 15 years. We have three children who fill our lives with humor and color—Jordyn, Jolie and Asher. I’ve worked in engineering for more than 10 years. I’m a recent graduate from Dallas Theological Seminary with a Masters of Arts in Apologetics and Evangelism. I like to ask big questions, such as about life and the world.
About My Church Plant
About 10 years ago, our family experienced tragedy when our oldest daughter was diagnosed with childhood leukemia at the age of 9. By the grace of God, she is now thriving. Ever since, I’ve been shackled to hope, captured by the desire to let people know that true hope is in Christ. We are planting Hope Fellowship and our aim is to reach people who have lost hope.
“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33).

NAMB Church Planting
Millions living in North America have not been reached with the gospel. But a new church makes change possible in an unreached neighborhood.
Send Network church planters immerse themselves in a community, learning the rhythms and culture as they establish relationships with the lost. A church plant grows out of the evangelism efforts of the planter and his core team.
