About My Family
Amanda and I have been married since 2015 and have served together in ministry from the very beginning. We first met as youth ministers in a small Texas town, where our youth groups conspired to match us together by arranging dinners and then “forgetting” to show up. That providential meeting turned into a marriage built on a shared love for Christ and His church.
Over the years, God has grown us through seasons of leadership, counseling and sacrifice, shaping our hearts for disciple-making and church planting. In 2025, we followed God’s call to Durant, Okla., with our two boys, Kaydon and Elliott, to plant Disciple Makers Church.
Our prayer is that our home would reflect the gospel to others and that our sons would grow up seeing and experiencing a life on mission.

About My Church Plant
We moved to Durant in 2025 to plant Disciple Makers Church. From the beginning, we entered Bryan County as missionaries, following the model of the early church by engaging the community with the gospel through prayerwalking, marketplace conversations and intentional relationships.
Texoma is surrounded by dozens of small rural towns, where many communities remain unreached. We have embraced this mission field with a desire not just to start a new work, but also to see the kingdom impact of discipleship strengthen and multiply other local churches.
My passion is to invest deeply in discipleship and to train up the faithful who can teach others, through equipping leaders, starting new works in rural communities and partnering with other congregations.

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.
