Bio & Credentials

For the past seven years, I’ve loved teaching at MCC! The classroom is one of my favorite places to be because of the potential it holds for change. Prior to MCC, I pastored in Salina where Michelle and I planted New Community Christian Church in 1998. New Community is the place that formed me the most as a Christian. Along with MCC, I am blessed to serve with an international mission called Trash Mountain Project. Personally, Michelle and our two children, Meg and Dylan, completely have my heart. They are such beautiful gifts from God.
