I'm the lead pastor at Grace Church at Willow Valley. I've lived in Lancaster my entire life, and my family started attending Grace Church when I was 10. Most of the wonderful things in my life have happened here at Grace: getting saved as a teenager, meeting my wife Hannah in youth group, being called into the ministry, getting started in ministry, and now leading the ministry here at Grace! I became the lead pastor in 2023, which means I'm the main preacher and teacher, oversee the church's shepherding care by leading our elder team, and provide vision for the spiritual direction of the church. Beyond preaching and leading the elders, I also engage in discipling, counseling, and visitation.
Hannah and I were married in 2014 and are blessed with two adopted boys, Canaan and Thatcher. When I'm not working, I enjoy reading, listening to music, taking walks, playing with my boys, and having iced coffee. I find great joy in serving others through preaching, listening, and sharing good country songs!
