About Me.
I have 25+ years of vocational ministry experience in the areas of community outreach, missions, and evangelism. My calling and passion is to help church congregations think through and implement how they can launch their own bodies into local community outreach.
I serve as the Local Outreach Pastor at Northeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY, where I lead the community outreach efforts for our church. I am also a Certified Church Consultant; I graduated from Church Consultation University in 2019 where I studied under the expertise of Dr. Thom Rainer. I received my BA degree from Purdue University and my M.Div. degree from Southern Seminary, in the area of Missions, Evangelism & Church Growth.

I have been married to my beautiful bride Kimberly for 23 years. I have two sons: Zachariah and Nathaniel.
What This Means for Your Church
You don't need another program — you need a proven process and someone who has lived this from the inside. Because I currently serve as a Local Outreach Pastor, I'm not consulting from a distance. I'm in the trenches every week, navigating the same challenges your team faces: limited volunteers, competing priorities, and a community full of needs that can feel overwhelming.
When we work together, I bring 25+ years of hands-on ministry experience directly to your context. Whether through a consultation, coaching, or training, my goal is simple: help your church stop spinning its wheels and start making a real, lasting difference in your community — with a strategy that actually fits who you are.
