I have been doing youth ministry since 1989 and most of the time I've even got paid for it! I have served in Washington, Oregon, and North Dakota during college, then a decade at a great church in Glendale, CA, Plano, TX and am now blessed to have spent the last several years serving in Albuquerque, TX where I am just beginning to serve as Senior Pastor after over a decade serving there as an associate. My greatest passion is to be faithful to the call has given me the first of which is to be husband to my amazing wife Joy and father to our four beautiful children. I am honored that God has let me show up in the lives of youth for His sake. I love to tell stories. Listen to stories. Watch stories. OR be in a story. I think reality tv and written work can co-exist. Coke and never Pepsi. I think the world is better with coffee of dark roasted finely brewed coffee. I think Evil is real and must be defeated, will be defeated, and already has been defeated. If I had a favorite Bible Verse it would be Zechariah 4:6 or maybe Romans 8:26 - could be 1 Peter 2:9-10 as well.
