I have a passion for helping the next generation know and follow Jesus. I was born and raised in Southern California. I met my wife Shannon in college, and we have been married for 24 years. The Lord blessed us with three amazing children, Addison, Ella, and Bethany.

I’ve served in student, college, and teaching ministry roles for the past 23 years. I’ve recently completed my Doctor of Ministry in Discipleship from Liberty University. My dissertation and research focused on discipling the next generation to serve in areas where the church is either minimally or not active at all.

When I’m not at church, I enjoy going to the beach, trying out new restaurants, listening to worship music, reading, writing, and spending time with my family. I’m thankful for any opportunity to follow Jesus’ command in John 13:34-35.
