My first day in youth ministry, 5 people showed up. My last day in youth ministry over 10,000 people showed up. I don’t say that to flex. I say that to let you know that I know I have ministry experience in various settings.

I have done youth ministry on the east coast, the west coast, and in the middle. I have been a youth pastor at a Baptist church, an AG church, a Bible Church, and a non-denominational church.

I have learned a lot in all of these settings – good, bad, and things I can’t mention in this bio. Seriously, I have signed Non-Disclosure Agreements for at least one church.

What I have learned, I want to share with all of you.

Outside of this, I love spending time with my wife Kristi and our three sons (Titus, Mac, and Tate).
