My Bio

I was born and raised in Central Illinois, and I moved to Austin, Texas in June of 2013. I am married to my beautful wife Shanna, and we have a son, Corbin, and a daughter, Lydia. We love going outdoors, reading books, being around friends, and volunteering. We believe in giving back to others and our community! We do this through our faith community, our work, and even our hobbies.

I currently work as an Area Representative for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) in Austin, Texas. I am also a founding member and a former pastor of Eastside Community Church in east Austin, Texas. I also have experience in nonprofit organizations such as Mission Possible Austin, LifeWay, Hill Country Bible Church, and more. My heart is to help consult and coach pastors and nonprofit leaders in small to mid-size organizations to have organizational health and maximize their impact!
