Summary

I was saved by the grace of our Lord at the age of 11. He then graciously called me into full time Gospel ministry at age 20. I have been married to my wonderful wife Becky since 2008. We have 4 children; 3 daughters and 1 son. My passion is to build the Kingdom through faithful expository preaching/teaching of the Bible. If Scripture is followed then the Church will have sufficient means to pursue holiness, spread the Gospel, and make disciples.
