I was blessed to grow up in a Christian home where my parents not only loved the Lord but faithfully lived out their faith each day. Watching their example had a profound impact on my life and helped lay the foundation for my own walk with Christ.

At the age of 27, I married my wonderful wife, Carolyn, and God has blessed us with more than 35 years of marriage. We have three amazing children, Julia, Christine, and Frankie, and we're also thankful for our son-in-law, Steve. Family is one of God's greatest gifts to me.

For more than 30 years, I've had the privilege of serving in ministry in both large and small churches. My greatest passion is helping people know Jesus through the faithful teaching and preaching of God's Word. Whether I'm preaching on a Sunday morning, teaching a Bible study, or having a conversation over coffee, I love opening the Scriptures and pointing people to the hope and grace found in Christ.

I also have a heart for sharing the gospel with those who don't yet know Jesus. There's nothing more exciting than seeing lives transformed by the power of the gospel and watching believers grow in their relationship with the Lord.

It is truly a joy and an honor to serve as the pastor of Ascend Church. I have been serving in this church since 2022, and have had the privilege of serving as Senior Pastor since 2025. I love this church family, and I'm grateful that God has called me here. My prayer is that together we would know Christ more deeply, become more like Him, and reflect His love and truth to our community and beyond.
