I am a Christ follower. At an early age, God revealed Himself to me in a very real and personal way. I placed my trust and faith in Jesus to be my Lord and Savior. During high school I sensed God’s plan for my life included full time ministry. In college I was able to invest in ministry opportunities on campus as well well as spending summers serving in various states. In 1994 I was invited to Indiana to help with a new church work on the west side of Indianapolis. Fifteen years later, God invited me once again to be a part of a new church work on the northeast side of Indianapolis in Fishers.

I am a husband. Kelly is my best friend. She is the one person in my life who is consistent. She encourages me when I need a pat on the back. She helps me to understand the importance of organization and administration. She keeps me on task. She keeps me focused. She makes me laugh. She is the funniest girl I have ever met. The past ten years have been an incredible journey and I look forward to the next ten.

I am a dad. Brayden and Bryce make life interesting. I love learning from them and teaching them at the same time. They come up with the best stories, the best games, and the best times! We wrestle often, play lots of sports, and enjoy the heck out of life. When Brayden was born, God taught me a lot about my relationship with Him. When Bryce was born, God taught me a lot about myself. Watching them grow up has been a gift from God. Now if I could only slow the process down!

I am a Cardinal fan. I grew up going to games, listening to them on the radio, and watching them on the tube after This Week in Baseball. I love watching baseball, playing baseball, and coaching baseball. I have been to 26 major league ballparks and hope to make it to two new ones this year.
