God was gracious to save me at a young age through the faithful discipleship of my mom. Our family came to Grace in 2004 after I joined the youth group. My faith grew tremendously under the teaching in youth group and continued to do so in college through campus ministry. When I got back from college, God gave me a desire to use my gifts to serve the church and I have loved serving in many different ministries over the years. Currently, I oversee the AVL ministry and serve alongside the best youth group staff in the world. And I've had the privelege to help start the fostercare and adoption ministry at the church - sometime the Lord has put on the heart of my wife and I since the start of our relationship. I married to my beautiful wife, Alana, who I met growing up here at Grace, and together we have three little boys and two little girls (one adopted and one currently fostering). I love spending time together as a family, and we especially enjoy going for bike rides to the beach.
