God saved me at an early age when I realized that I was a sinner, repented of my sin, and in faith called out to God to forgive my sins and make me His child.
I attended Bob Jones University, was called to preach there, and graduated in 1996. I married my best friend, Laura, in 1998. In 1999 I became the Assistant Pastor at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Oakdale,CT. In June of 2008, I followed God’s leading to pastor Faith Baptist Church of Harvard, IL. Then in March of 2017, I accepted the call to pastor First Baptist Church of Fort Atkinson, WI. In 2021, I completed my M.A. in Church Ministry. Since 2014, I have also enjoyed serving as a Marketplace Chaplain.
I grew up in a Christian home and came to know Christ as my Lord and Savior at the age of 9. At 18, I left home to join the USAF. It was during my time in the Air Force that I surrendered to God's call to full-time ministry.
After leaving the military, I attended Maranatha Baptist University while ministering here at First Baptist Church of Fort Atkinson, WI. I graduated with my BA and MA in 2024. In the same year, I married my wife, HollyBeth. I stayed at Maranatha to finish my MDiv in 2025. Upon graduating, I was called to serve as assistant under Pastor Neal.
