About My Family

Cara and I have been married since 2014. We have a son named Briggs and another baby on the way.

We love to explore new places and regularly hike Nationals Parks, but our favorite place to be is the city of Chicago.

About My Church Plant

Ashburn Baptist Church-Chicago is a church that was established in the 1950’s and saw tremendous growth through 1970–2000.I led a team to replant this church in 2020, and God has been blessing an amazing way.

Ashburn-Chicago is a multicultural and diverse congregation with a purposed focus to serve the young families in the community. As a church, our sole purpose is to help people find new life in Jesus by knowing God, growing together and going to make a difference.

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.

Pray

Pray Ashburn will continue to raise up leaders as they look to become a planting church. Also, pray for Ashburn.Chicago as we begin the process of creating an after-school program for their community.
