Summary

I have been in ministry for 20+ years, either as a worship leader, youth pastor, or currently as lead pastor. I studied music theory at Northeast Community College, though I did not complete the degree, I did complete and pass all theory classes. I was also a member of Campus Country, a music group which provided a scholarship to attend Northeast Community College.


At Grand Canyon University I studied evangelical, systematic, and historical theology, along with classes teaching biblical study in proper context. I am also a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS) and Alpha Chi (AX) Honor societies
