About My Family
I grew up and was saved in a West Tulsa church. For me, West Tulsa is more than just where I grew up; it’s home. West Tulsa is where I began with Christ and first knew it was where God wanted me to plant His church.
I have spent the past seven years ministering at Church That Matters in Sand Springs, Okla., as a youth pastor and executive pastor over their Next Generation Ministries. While there, I grew as a leader and overcame many challenges.
Before coming to Church That Matters, I worked as a youth pastor and children’s minister at Hillspring Church in Sand Springs, Okla., for a total of nine years.
My wife, Melissa, and I have 11 kids, most of whom are now grown.

About My Church Plant
To be cognizant of something means to be aware of it. We want to bring awareness of Jesus Christ, His love and His grace, to all people. And when we say all people, we mean ALL people. Our vision is to make Jesus known to all people in all walks of life, one conversation at a time. We believe we are called to impact our community by being a living example of Jesus Christ through service, discipleship and loving all people.
Why West Tulsa? We at Cognizant Church firmly believe God has called us to plant a church in West Tulsa. West Tulsa is lacking committed churches who are willing to meet the needs of the community, and we feel that God has been uniquely preparing us to meet those needs. We believe LOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS, & SERVE THE WORLD is more than a trendy catchphrase; it’s who we are.

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.
