I joined Oakdale Church because I was impressed by its commitment to making disciples, which resonated deeply with my passion for youth ministry. 

Before joining the staff, I earned a Masters in Systematic and Historical Theology from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.

I now serve as the Student Ministry Pastor, overseeing the ministries for middle school, high school, and emerging adults. My role involves discipling, teaching, leading, and managing these groups to foster a strong, faith-based community.

I grew up as an Army brat. I am deeply passionate about guiding young people to make lifelong commitments to Christ and His Church. 

Despite my dedication, there is a humorous side to my life—the Red Cross won't accept my blood donations.

My wife, Rachel, and I have been happily married since 2010.
