About My Family
My wife, Caroline, and I have six daughters ranging in age from 14–2 years old! We have been in and around Christian ministry for our entire marriage. I was on the pastoral team of a wonderful church in Roswell, Ga., for 11 years.
I grew up in Colorado and have always had a burden for the “out West.” In fall 2024, the Lord opened doors for our family to move out to Salt Lake City and to partner with some great churches in Utah. We love being in Utah. The West suits us as a family. We enjoy the big sky, the arid climate, the mountains and all the seasons. Our girls are actively involved in ministry with us, and we enjoy serving as a family.

About My Church Plant
In 2024, our family moved to Salt Lake City to partner with Gospel Grace Church and Gospel Hope Church to plant a new church about 30 minutes south of Gospel Hope Church. Both churches have sent members to be part of our core/launch team.
We are devoting ourselves to making disciples and training leaders. Our public launch is Easter of 2026, but we are already holding services with about 60 average attendance. We are excited to bring the gospel to an area with fewer than than .05% believers. Our area is indeed a missions context. Of more than 135,000 people, there are fewer than 600 believers.
There is a tremendous gospel vacancy and God is on the move! We are excited to see what He will do over the next decade with Gospel Fellowship Church.

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.
