Ministry Style

About Me

I am a husband and daddy, a worshipper and pastor, sports fanatic, band member and goof off.  I love seeing people worshipping the Lord in freedom and in their own way.  I believe that music frees us to get lost in the moment and worship the way we were intended to without all the distractions of life.  That is what I have the blessing of being a part of in leading worship.  I love working with other worship leaders through training or collaborating.  I am a hard working, trustworthy person and love to have fun in whatever I’m doing!

I am married to the woman of my dreams and thoroughly enjoy living life and ministering with her.  She is my greatest strength, blessing and support here on earth!  Our first born is 1 year old.  She is amazing, hysterical, insanely cute, exhausting and gorgeous with the lungs of a screaming Kelly Clarkson!  Our second little girl only a few months old and already full of personality and chubby cheeks!  I cannot imagine living without these awesome women in my life.  We are looking for a church to call home, to accept us for who we are and will allow us to be creative, serve, try, fail succeed and be real.

My Style

I love that worshipping is not limited to one style of music or posture.  I worship best through loud music that is more on the edge, led by an energized, passionate band and that’s how I lead.  I believe we should strive for excellence in everything we do and that includes reaching out to the world around us.  A wise man once said to reach those that no one is reaching we must do what no one else is doing.  If we live our ministries this way, while seeking out the new and different, we will be creative and find more effective ways to relate and love those around us.  We must adapt and change in order to continue making a difference in the world we live in.

My wife and I are a team and I believe that God has brought us together to strengthen our ministry.  We strive for a laid back and comfortable ministry that keeps excellence as a priority.  We are very genuine people and want the people we come in contact with to feel accepted and loved by us.
