I grew up in a Christian home in Ohio on the family farm. I accepted Christ as my Savior at the age of 5. At 6 or 7, I began to have the desire to go into full time ministry. I continued to follow the Lord as he guided each step.. Our family moved to Iowa in 2003. I learned from my Pastor, Ed Hannahs, and occasionally taught and preached in the children's ministries. I graduated from the church's Christian school in 2003 and later graduated from West Coast Baptist College. I went on a mission trip to Uganda, helped a church planter in Iowa City and was a councilor at Southern Christian Camp in Louisiana for 2 years. That is where I met my future wife, Sarah. In April of 2014, the Lord led me to Central Baptist Church in Greeneville, TN to serve as youth pastor. The Lord has blessed us with 2 wonderful boys. Through the leading of the Holy Spirit, I was called by Faith Baptist Church in Palmer,MA, where I am now serve as the Pastor.
