The college experience taught me how to always be a student. I learned to love to learn. Being teachable and living each day in a state of discovery has kept me fresh, passionate, repentant and prepared to minister.

I have served for more than 10 years at New Hope Community Church. I provide pastoral care, biblical counsel, hope and Godly instruction to this healthy church family. I was in an awful motorcycle accident as I came home from a wedding rehearsal. I was air-lifted to help. I had many broken bones and injuries. God used this season of pain for His glory! Focus on the Family interviewed me last year and recorded my story injury, rehab, brokenness, healing and recovery. You can find the story at parsonage.org under the pastor to pastor section, entitled Storms of Ministry. As well, I have a small website ministry that reaches out to others recovering from trauma called Soulrehab.org. One more ministry blessing I have joined the Timothy Network at Team Missions. We seek to provide encouragement, counsel and relational support to missionaries. I go each year to Nepal to care for the missionaries serving in Nepal.
