What is your role at Grace Church?
I am the Associate Pastor of Discipleship. My main areas of responsibility are overseeing life groups, men’s ministry, and fellowship events.
Tell us about your family.
I am married to Jessica. We have been married nearly 22 years and I can’t imagine living this life without her. She truly is my best friend. We met while in college at the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. We have served the Church in The Chicagoland Area, New Jersey just outside of NYC, and for the last 15+ years right here at Grace Church. We have been blessed with 4 great kids. Jenna (19), Chase (17), Sawyer (13), and Emerson (10).
A key passage or two of the Bible that has significantly impacted your life and ministry.
Ephesians 4:1-2: “I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love.”
Who have been significant influences in your life as a follower of Jesus?
Where to begin! I have had countless teachers, professors and pastors personally invest in me. If I were to name a few it would be Pastor Stephen Patrick, our own Pastor Dave Hanson. There have been authors that have challenged me as well. I would place Paul Tripp at the top of that list.

What is your hope for Grace Church?
I firmly believe that strong marriages produce strong families. Strong families create a strong church. As a church we are well on our way. That being said, it is my prayer that Grace Church becomes a body with regional influence. I would love to see her plant churches or campuses in the many small and under churched rural communities through out the Upper Peninsula. The UP needs Jesus this is why I believe God has blessed Grace Church and uniquely placed her in Delta County.
