About Me

I grew up in a large family, the 2nd of 5 children. I came to Christ when I was sixteen through Young Life.  During college, I became a Young Life Worship Leader. This began my career in Youth Ministry. In 1992, I met and married Jennifer. Jennifer had a similar calling to youth ministry. We became a team ministering to youth and young adults. In 2003, I answered the call to ordained mininstry and earned a MDiv at Regent College.  In 2006, I began parish ministry and transitioned to the Missional Church model. In 2019, after participating in my own IFS therapy, I became a trained IFS Practitioner. I offer Pastoral Counseling & Spiritual Direction as an Internal Family Systems Practitioner. 

I have a passion to see people reconciled to God, themselves and others. IFS therapy is an important tool to help that reconciliation. I have a special calling to those who are mininstry leaders, ordained or lay. I understand life in full-time ministry and the challenges that places on our relationship to God, ourselves and others. I also work with those who have problematic sexual behaviors - the individual and the couple.
