It is an honor and joy to be a part of a church that passionately cares for one other. I was raised in the east coast, and I have been here at First Covenant Church for about 5 years. My wife, Corrie and I, have been married almost 10 years and we have four girls. They are definitely a source of joy in our lives. Prior to, I received my undergraduate degree from North Park University with an emphasis in Communications. After college I served two years overseas in Budapest, Hungary as an English teacher and missionary. After returning to the United States, I worked six years as a camping ministries director in Colorado and Michigan where I met my wife. Following, I then had the privilege of receiving my M. Div. at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in the Boston area. It is my prayer in ministry that I would continue to point others to the love of Christ as we journey in our faith together.
