Leader Bio:
I had the privilege of growing up in a home where my parents taught me the good news of Jesus from infancy. I’m married to the lovely Renée and we have five wonderful children.
I love the Lord and His Word, family days, running and exercise, roasting + drinking good coffee, playing guitar, singing, reading, ventriloquy, communicating the gospel to children and not least, preaching the word and pastoring His people.
