I am passionate about seeing people encounter the love of Christ!  I believe the local church is called to be a vibrant, life-giving place where people receive the grace of Jesus and are equipped and challenged to grow in their faith, discover their purpose, and make a big difference for the Kingdom of God! 
 
Before stepping into my current role in 2015, I served for 12 years primarily as a Praise and Worship Pastor and Youth Pastor for two incredible church congregations in Texas. At various times, I was also responsible for Financial Administration, Pastoral Care, and Small Group Ministries. Each assignment was rewarding, and each was preparing me for the current ways that I serve in the Body of Christ.
 
I am very happily married to Amity, who is such an amazing blessing to me, our family, and to the church. We have 4 awesome, active kids.  Spending time with family and supporting our kids in their activities and endeavors is the greatest joy in my life.
 
I enjoy fishing, golfing, grilling and spending time with my wife and kids!
