About My Family
My wife, Becky, and I met in Lynchburg, Virginia, while attending Liberty University. She grew up in Maryland, and I grew up in Ohio. We have been blessed with a beautiful daughter named Noa Grace.
Becky and I have followed the Lord’s leading throughout our marriage. After seven years of praying for His guidance on our next steps, the Lord led us to uproot our lives and move from the church we were serving in Virginia, across the country, to help establish another gospel-centered church in the Salt Lake Valley.
You can often find our small family out and about at a local coffee shop, having a meal with friends and strangers, playing board games, or heading to the mountains to go fishing.

About My Church Plant
Risen Life Church Midvale is launching on April 5, 2026, as a church plant of Risen Life Church in Holladay, Utah.
Midvale, located in Salt Lake County, has an estimated evangelical population of around 3 percent. In light of this great need, and because of the greatness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, our church exists to live lives of worship, transformed by the gospel and sent to make disciples.
We gather in a historic theater on Main Street in Midvale and seek to intentionally engage our community for the sake of the gospel. We desire to make Christ, His grace, and His glory known throughout Midvale and the surrounding valley.

NAMB Church Planting
Demonstrated Christian character is essential for missionaries and chaplains to gain credibility and build community. A missionary is a person who, in response to God's call and gifting, leaves his or her comfort zone and crosses cultural, geographic or other barriers to proclaim the gospel and live out a Christian witness in obedience to the Great Commission. The North American Mission Board supports missionaries serving across the United States, Canada and their territories. Churches are the missionary incubators and sending centers for missionaries through the Southern Baptist Convention. Missionaries serve in a variety of settings and face tremendous challenges. But the rewards are tremendous and life-changing. Missionaries have the privilege to represent their church and their Father in sharing the gospel as the primary focus of their activity. If you are interested in pursuing next steps as a potential missionary or chaplain from your church, explore the possibilities at namb.net/send-me.
