Heather and I got married in 1996. When we were dating in high school, she is actually the one who led me to give my life to Jesus. We are blessed with four kids, Maddy (our daughter) is married to Chris, and Eli (our son) is married to Hope; and grandchildren Greyson, Remi and Rosie. We both grew up around the Eureka area, and I graduated from Eureka College with a degree in Elementary Education. After graduation, I went to work at State Farm. In early 2001, God called Heather and I to start Crosspoint. Then in July 2007, after being at State Farm for 10 years, I left to be the Community Life/Teaching Pastor at Crosspoint. I graduated with a Masters in Ministry Leadership from Rockbridge Seminary in the fall of 2008. Then in the spring of 2009, I moved into the role of Lead Pastor. In my spare time, I love coaching and watching basketball, working around the house, and spending time with my family and friends.
