Bio
I have been working with and speaking to students for about 14 years. I spent 6 years teaching in public schools until God allowed me to begin serving as a youth pastor full-time. Of those 14 years, 11 have been while serving in churches. I have been married for 18 years and have three beautiful children.

My purpose is to make the Bible real and relevant to students. I never get nervous speaking in front of people, but I do get nervous when I think of the great responsibility God has allowed me to have in my speaking. Every opportunity is a gift from Him and I try and convey that to those I speak to.
