I was raised on a farm north of Alliance and grew up in a traditional church. However, I would say that I really didn't understand the gospel of God's grace until after high school through the people and ministry of Alliance Berean. Praise God for this church! I prepared for vocational ministry through Frontier School of the Bible and Shepherds Theological Seminary. 

I have been around since 2008 but joined the staff in January 2025. Between those years I married my cherished wife Courtney (2014) and the Lord has blessed us with four kids (some say we have our own youth group at home!). We also have a yellow lab who lives to play fetch. I have done some missionary work in Latin America, worked with youth & camps, and pastored Chadron Bible Church for six years before accepting God's call to ABC. My title is student & associate pastor but my subtitle is "swiss army knife." 

Six adjectives to describe me are Welcomer, Adventurer, Conscientious, Organizer, Doer, and Visionary. For fun and to be refueled I like hunting & fishing, going on long walks or hikes, gardening, and watching college football (go Skers!). The best part about my job is doing life in a vibrant Christian community like ABC.

P.S. If you ask me, hotdogs are definitely NOT sandwiches and YES, pineapple DOES belong on pizza!! :)
