After growing up in church all my life I struggled with finding the real Jesus. At 21 years old that all changed and Jesus became the only thing in life that really mattered. Since then over a decade has passed serving and speaking to students and young adults all across the country. I attempt a unique blend of intricate story weaving, off-the-cuff jokes, and straight forward no nonsense biblical truth telling to draw audiences in to what God has to say to them. I seek above all else to make the gospel simple, approachable, and understandable to any audience any time. 

Through years of leadership in the non-profit ministry sector I have also developed a unique strategy for leading teams, recruiting volunteers, creating engaging programming, and building leaders for today. I love to share any wisdom I have gained, almost exclusively through my own mistakes, with anyone who will listen. Creating high performing teams with a passion for self-care and an eye for excellence is my ultimate leadership goal.

Personally, I have a smoking hot wife whose league has so far surpassed his own they may not even be playing the same sport. She is an elementary school teacher who wants kids to know they are loved and cared for above all else. My claims to fame include being a subpar fantasy football player and an excellent video gamer (as long as the difficulty setting is on easy or lower).  In my spare time, I still actively plays soccer in any league I can join and continues to pass on my passion for the game by coaching multiple youth club teams and doing private skill sessions for players of all ages and skill levels.
