Marie and I get to serve at Shoreline Church as the youth pastors empowering teams to minister to middle and high school youth and their families. I also have the privilege of directing Shoreline Leadership College a ministry training and leadership development program. I've been a pastor for ten years and at Shoreline for almost six.
I was raised near Tampa, Florida, so I love the Buccaneers and the beach. I went to Oral Roberts University and graduated with a degree in Theology.
I blog about youth ministry stuff here. I'm also on twitter and facebook.
