With & For You…

I am a husband, a dad to three amazing girls, and I currently call Charlotte, NC, home. My deepest passion is creating sacred, safe spaces for people to explore, mourn, and rejoice, ultimately awakening a lasting hope through connection with the Triune God and trusted companions.

I consider it a profound privilege to attune to others, bearing witness to their experiences and walking alongside them toward hope. My own journey has been shaped by seasons of both blessing and hardship. I have known loss, betrayal, and abandonment, but I have also experienced the immense healing that comes from being truly seen, welcomed, known, and loved. Every part of that story has been written into who I am today.

For over 15 years, I served as a pastor with a distinct heart for counseling and care. To deepen that work, I completed two years of Narrative Focused Trauma Care (Levels 1 and 2) through the Allender Center at the Seattle School. I also hold an MDiv from Reformed Theological Seminary and a BS in Marketing from Bloomsburg University. I have and currently work as an operations manager for a life insurance firm. While my background is varied, every step has encouraged my desire to enter into people’s lives with genuine curiosity, kindness, presence, and care. I look forward to walking with you.

Get to know me: Speed Round

I enjoy hiking and this picture was taken at the top of one of my hikes.

I enjoy reading biographies and learning about people’s stories. Unbroken was a great read.

When I fly I really like to have the aisle because of my height so I can stretch out a little.

I prefer dogs and have a Shih Tzu-Bichon mix.

I enjoy my sweets and have to watch the size of my ice cream portions but I love my Breyer’s vanilla with toppings.

I enjoy playing guitar and I once met B.B. King.

I am really scared of heights and squirmed in my seat as I watched Free Solo.
