Cristy and I are celebrating 20 years of marriage this year, and we have an 8 year old daughter named Sophie and a 2 year old dog named Lincoln Pizza.

A lot of my week is filled with running a video production business that I started a few years ago (Reach Creative), but outside of work, I love date nights with Cristy, exploring BBQ restaurants with Sophie, making my family laugh, and training Jiu Jitsu at a local gym. 

Growing up in a home where Sunday mornings were reserved for sleeping-in and eating pancakes, I spent my childhood completely unaware of the giant void that existed in my life. It wasn't until I was nearly 22 years old when God got my attention and made me aware of who Jesus is and how my faith in Him was the vital piece that was missing from my life. 

As a Parish Deacon, my hope is that God will use our family to connect with and care for those in our parish who may not feel known in our church community. Through this connection and care, He will cultivate for folks a stronger sense of belonging to our local church body.
