About My Family
An experienced church planter, I helped plant 10 churches around the world, including six churches in Belarus, one in NYC and three in Toronto, Canada. I earned a Doctor of Ministry in Strategic Leadership from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in 2022.
I have been married to my Canadian wife, Kristen for 25 years. She enjoys leading women’s ministry at the church and hosts an annual women’s tea in spring. She also loves using her spiritual gifts of service and hospitality.
We have two children, Megan (22) and Ethan (21), both in their final year at Georgia State University. Upon graduation in December 2023, Megan plans to move to Japan to teach English and open up her own photography business. Ethan graduates in May 2024 with a bachelor degree in political science. He is considering becoming a journeyman with IMB.

About My Church Plant
I am the lead replant pastor at Chattahoochee Baptist Church (CBC) Marietta. CBC Marietta is my first replant where in just two and half years I grew the church from 12 people to 66 people pre-pandemic. After three years of devastating losses, I managed to keep the church going and am now leading a remnant to replant the church again.
In 2023, I started implementing my replant strategy based on Isaiah 54. The replant vision is to reclaim, restore, rebuild and recreate disciples who make disciples. I plan to relaunch the church March 31, which is Easter 2024, during the church’s 140 year anniversary. Currently, I am building my replant team, prayerwalking my community and raising funds.

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.
