Summary

My wife and I got married on March 24, 2018, and we have a 13-year-old son named Trell. Serving in ministry alongside my wife has brought so much life and fruit to not only my life, but also to the life of our church family.

Energetic, and passionate student minister at the Canadian Church of Christ, skilled in faith formation and community outreach. Believes that student ministry exists to build a bridge for parents to disciple their kids, as well as giving students a vision of serving the church now. Adept at relationship building and crisis response, creating a welcoming environment for all members and promoting active participation in church life. I spent my formative growing-up years in Dallas, Texas, and while there, I found a love for people and the church through witnessing my parents and grandparents serve.
