About Me
Purpose
To help the people I encounter connect with God, themselves, and the people and calling right in front of them.
Vision
Churches and organizations leading from clarity, led by people who are spiritually grounded, personally healthy, and building something that actually lasts.
Mission
To serve leaders and organizations through honest content, real community, and hands-on coaching and consulting that moves people from where they are to where they're meant to be.
I've spent nearly two decades in ministry — and honestly, I still love it.
I currently serve as a Senior Executive Pastor at a 2,000-member church, where I get to do the work I'm most passionate about: helping people and organizations get healthy, get clear, and build something that actually lasts. Before this, I spent 18 years at one of the largest multi-campus churches in the country, helping to oversee a 10-campus ministry. That experience taught me a lot about what works, what doesn't, and what it really takes to lead well at scale.
Out of those years in the trenches, I developed the SHEPHERD Framework — a practical approach to organizational health and leadership that bridges the gap between vision and execution through people, systems, and culture. It's the tool I wish I'd had earlier in my career, and it's now the foundation of everything I do as a leader, consultant, and coach.
But if you really want to know who I am, none of that is what matters most to me.
I'm a husband first. Natalie is my person — she's been in my corner through some hard seasons, and I don't take that lightly. I'm also a dad, and my son has wrecked me in the best possible way. Fatherhood has made me a better leader, a more patient person (still a work in progress), and a lot clearer about what actually matters.
Faith is the foundation under all of it. It's not a department of my life — it's the lens I see everything through.
When I'm not leading or writing or thinking about leadership (which, if I'm honest, is most of the time), you'll find me cooking for people I love, getting lost in a good book, or planning the next trip somewhere I've never been or just hanging out with friends and family.
I'm glad you're here. Stick around — I think we'll have a lot to talk about.
