I first heard the gospel while serving our country as a Navy SEAL –yeah, that’s me in the photo. After many years of pursuit by a relentless and loving Savior, I was drawn into a relationship with Him that would transform who I was and how I viewed the world in which we live. Though daily Bible reading and prayer were transformative and fruitful, I desired more! I completed a B.A. in Biblical Studies, and immediately entered seminary where I obtained a Master of Divinity with a major in Bible Exposition. Through it all, God has not only given me a heart for the lost but also for those who were brought to faith later in life. I desire to help others glorify God by thriving in a grace-fueled life while embracing the spirit of power, love, and discipline that God has given each of us.
