Senior Pastor of FBC Blanco since January of 2025

 My greatest strength is complete and utter reliance on the Lord. Apart from Him, I can do nothing. He is the one that bears any and all fruit in my life. I cling to him with everything that I have. Throughout my decade plus in ministry, I have discovered less confidence in myself (in a good way as the Lord has continued to prune my pride), but much more confidence in God.

My hobbies include taking my wife Shannan on dates as well as scratching my competitive itch through pickleball and mediocre golf.

The authors and preachers that I have been influenced by the most include John Piper, Tim Keller, Matt Chandler, and J.D. Greear.
 
The Lord has blessed me with four children: Tyler age 22 (happily married in Helena, Montana), Joren 19, Brody 14 (8th grade), Selah 11 (6th grade).
