From as early as I can remember, the one thing I have enjoyed the most is making others shine. From the assists on the basketball court, to blocking on the football field, and coaching others to success. Secondly, I have always placed a high value on relationships and it guides me in everything I do. The result of combining both of these important values together has created a perfect place to serve as the Lead Pastor of The Chapel. My passion is to lead people into a state of timeless transformation so that they to can have deeper relationship with a living God. I have been married for 34 years to Donna and have the joy of being called dad by all of my kids. Marissa (Daughter), Darren (Son-in-law), Jordan (Son), and Kayla (daughter-in-law). Our kids have also given us four wonderful grands. So, if you want to play a round of golf, take a hike, or take in some of the best that the metro area has to give when it comes to restaurants ... let me know and we will go.

I am the contact person (the dashing, daring, and digitally savvy director) for our youth department. I love the small group atmosphere on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights, as well as the ridiculousness that comes about at movie nights, retreats, all-nighters, and other gatherings. When I’m not moonlighting with our youth, I spend much of my time practicing snappy comebacks with the students in my 7th grade language arts classroom. I enjoy reading (although I don’t do it as much as a language arts teacher probably should), sitting around a fire pit with close friends, traveling to places I’ve never been, and long walks on the beach.
