Passion for ministry: I have a passion to see people’s hearts genuinely connect with the Lord through worship and the arts.
Joined Wildwood as Worship Arts Pastor: October 2006. I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Church Music, with vocal and choral emphasis.
Family: I married my beautiful wife, Cathy, on July 26, 2008 and feel so blessed to have her as a part of my life! Working as a 5th grade teacher, she really enjoys what she does. I must say that she is also quite accomplished on the flute! We have a Goldendoodle named Bailey and our first child is on the way! Most importantly, we are fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ and strive to live lives that reflect that.
Hobbies: Cathy and I do a lot of biking when the weather is nice. I enjoy playing music and going to concerts. Together, when we get the opportunity, we love going to see the Chicago Cubs play at Wrigley.
