I am so grateful that my mom shared the gospel with me as a child, and that Christ showed me His remarkable grace early in my life. Although I strayed from Him at times during high school and college, the Lord has been so faithful to keep drawing me to Himself over the years through His Spirit and through His Word.

I grew up in Texas but moved to the Midwest to pursue my M.B.A. at the  University of Chicago where I graduated in 1995. My wife Michelle and I thought we would move back to Texas some day, but God had a different plan for us in Wisconsin. We have since been blessed to raise our family in Cedarburg over the past 25+ years, and to be a part of Alliance Bible Church that entire time. We have three adult children and two grandchildren.

I retired from my career in investments at the end of 2024 to pursue ministry full-time, and am now an ACBC-certified Biblical counselor. I’ve always enjoyed discipling and mentoring people 1-on-1 and getting into the real struggles of life – all the while relishing how God works to change us amidst our suffering. Such transformation reveals His glory and points us to the true ‘buried treasure’ of life (Matthew 13:44).

My wonderful wife Michelle and I now live in the town of Cedarburg and appreciate the times we can kayak along the river, talk with friends around the bonfire, or travel to new places.
