I enjoyed growing up in a home where Christ was loved and honored. I always looked forward to opportunities to help out at our church when I was young, and from an early age I had a passion from God to disciple others. I've been privileged to serve the Kingdom of God in various ministry settings throughout high school and college both here in the US and overseas.

After graduating from college with a degree in Bible  and Communication, I married my best friend and moved to Virginia to study in seminary. I graduated with a M.Div. from Central Baptist Theological Seminary in 2007, and came on staff at Westminster Church parttime in 2008. In July of 2009 I began working full time with our small group ministry and later took on the additional task of overseeing communications.

In the fall of 2011 I began transitioning into the role I have now as Director of Discipleship Ministries. It is my responsibility to recruit and train our Community leaders, set vision, direction and strategy for our discipleship ministries, and help coordinate discipleship efforts from children through adults.

I still have the task of directing Westminster's communication, which involves overseeing the church's website, Facebook page and much of the church's graphic design and print design.

My wife, Carrie, and I have three amazing children, Daniel, Evelyn and Julia.
