I grew up in an Air Force family, traveling wherever my dad was stationed.  I graduated from High School in a small town in Western Pennsylvania, attending Mount Vernon Nazarene University for both my undergrad and graduate work.

When I have some free time, I love to golf, fish, camp, hunt, write, volunteer at local non-profits and spend time with my wife. I have two daughters and one son. Elizabeth is married to Paul, Tori is married to Clay with two kids - Aimee & Isaac, and both live in Ohio. Leo is a student at Georgia Tech.

I am currently engaged in launching a network of Micro Churches in Northeast Florida called the First Coast Network. Soon we will be launching this ministry publicly so stay tuned for more information.  I have previously served churches in Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Ohio and South Carolina.
