Bio: I’m a Worship Arts Pastor in the Great Northwest. I’ve been leading worship in the local church for about 11 years. I’ve learned a lot, and I’ve got a lot to learn. I’m also married to my lovely wonderful wife Bekki & have a daughter - Hannah, and we have a son - Henry. I’m very fortunate to be living the life I’m living. I went to school at Indiana Wesleyan University for 3 years, then moved out to Vancouver, WA to go to Multnomah Bible College to finish up my degree. While I was going to college I was almost always serving a local church through worship in some way. Now, that I’m in a full time position, I realize that I have a lot I can learn from so many people.
