I grew up a pastor’s kid, and for the first 5 years of my life I lived in the states of Washington and Oregon. I accepted Christ as my Savior during that time, and then in 1996, we moved to the Des Moines area. 

I attended Johnston High School for the first 3 years and then graduated from Des Moines Christian in 2009. I went on to study at Moody Bible Institute, Montana Wilderness School of the Bible, and DMACC.

My beautiful wife Alicia and I got married in 2012. Since then, we have had the opportunity to serve the Lord in Washington, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Iowa. We have 4 kids — 3 boys and 1 girl.

It is our desire to serve faithfully wherever God places us and to see people become lifelong followers of Jesus.
