Summary

Passionate about developing nextgen worship leadership through musical and spiritual discipleship. While working with colleagues in schools and churches, I've learned to execute excellent experiences for students of all ages. Through intentional preparedness and dedication as well as experience in teaching and leadership, God has used me to increase volunteer and student numbers in every role.


With my own education and experience I've Implemented unique development plans to equip the nextgen for service in musical worship. Also through education and experience I have learned many of the spiritual and material needs for the modern worship pastor including training in technology, leadership, and spiritual development.


I'm told (for a worship pastor) I'm organized, adaptable and hardworking. Desiring to apply musical and educational skills to build into others and continue my own growth in education. Committed to creating thriving community and guiding individuals transformed by musical worship.
