Additional Information
I am a husband, father, and Marine Corps veteran who loves reaching others for the glory of God. My wife and I have three amazing children and we are both originally from Panama City, Florida and believe God is calling us back to the Panhandle to lead the local church in a deeper commitment to making disciples who make disciples. I started in my ministry calling at Springfield UMC and am deeply rooted in the Wesleyan Orthodox faith. I have done every single position in the local church that you can think of, because I love serving God in anyway that helps the church grow.
