Grand Rapids, Michigan

I'm a devoted Christ follower. His ways mold how I am a husband to my wife Rachele, a dad to my two sons Lucas (who is three), and Caden (who was born on October 27), and how I interact with people that I rub shoulders with each day.

God has given me a deep burning desire to love, care for and disciple teenagers in the most transformative time of there lives. I believe God made these years so transformative so they can experience Him and His love in amazing and life changing ways! When teens experience God's authentic love and amazing grace, this generation has the opportunity to change their families, friends, schools, church, and even this world - nothing will stop them.

I also love messing around with my electric guitar and dreaming of new guitar pedals. I also have a passion for drinking really good coffee. My wife and I also love to do DIY projects around our house - even if it take two or three times before we get it right. We also love having people over to our house, firing up our grill and sharing great food with them.
