I enjoy the great outdoors and all that God has blessed us with here on this Earth to enjoy and be stewards of. So whether I am out on the stream catching trout, hitting the snowy slopes on my snowboard, riding the single-track trails on my mountain bike, bicycling with my family, camping, or hiking I am thankful for this life that God has blessed me to live.

Family is incredibly important to me! I have a of six; my wife and I have two boys and two girls. Spending time at breakfast each morning praying for our family and friends, talking about what the day may bring, rehearsing the day’s events at dinner around the table, spending time reading our bibles together, and snuggling with one another bring us close together as a family.

Since 2007, I have enjoyed being the Youth Ministry Coordinator at Shepherd of the Lakes, and recently my position has evolved into the Connections Coordinator. What that really means is that I am in charge of everything from our social media, website, and email to coordinating volunteers and creating space for people to become friends.
