Students
I love helping teenagers find thriving life in Jesus and connect their faith to everyday life. I’ve spent years working with students, and I’m still learning from them.
Camps · Retreats · Student gatheringsI speak to students, parents, and leaders about faith, life, and leadership. My approach is simple: humor, honesty, and something practical to take home.

Experience serving the next generation
15+ years in ministry✳A decade of public speaking✳A heart for the local churchFor more than a decade, I’ve spoken to audiences across the country. Whether it’s a student retreat, a parent night, or a room full of ministry leaders, I want people to leave encouraged, challenged, and equipped.

Camps · Retreats · Student gatheringsRaising teenagers brings plenty of questions. I help parents think about how to stay connected, have honest conversations, and support their kids’ faith.
Parent nights · Family ministry eventsI care about the local church and the people doing the work. I speak on youth ministry, leadership, and strategy, drawing from my experience on staff and alongside ministry teams.
Conferences · Team training · Breakouts
I’ve been involved in ministry for more than 15 years, in both volunteer and staff roles. The next generation continues to inspire me.
I served as a student pastor at MISSION Community Church in Gilbert, Arizona, and Gwinnett Church in Sugar Hill, Georgia. After that, I joined Orange, where I held several Director roles in Student Ministry, helping shape content and strategy for ministry leaders.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Organizational Leadership from Evangel University. I serve as Director of Partner Strategy at TENx10, where I work on partnerships that help ministries disciple the next generation.
My most important roles are husband and dad. I love my wife, Heather, and our kids—Asher, Oliver, Elliot, and Mila. I still hope to dunk a basketball one day.
I also work on books, articles, editing, and voicing. If you have a writing project in mind, I’d love to hear about it.
