I'm an Arizona transplant now living in Western North Carolina, having traded the desert, mountains, and washes for the forest, lakes, and waterfalls. I cherish spending time with my wife, Maegan, our grown son Joshua, daughter-in-law Anna, extended family, and friends. I thrive on meeting new people, building relationships, playing board and video games, hiking to waterfalls, and passionately cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs!

I have firsthand experience in living a life defined by grace. My journey has been a rollercoaster of highs, lows, twists, and turns. Some days, summoning the strength to get up and go again was particularly challenging. Without God’s grace (unmerited favor), it would have been impossible. With over 25 years of experience working with teens, young adults, and families as a coach, teacher, mentor, and pastor, I've had numerous opportunities to share the message of redemption. I am honored to walk alongside people and encourage them to become their best selves, to cast off the labels they've accepted over the years, and to let God’s grace define who they are today and who they will be in the future!
