I grew up in a small town in Southeast Texas. My dad worked in the oil field so we moved around a lot. In 4th grade we landed in Hull, a city with no stop lights and four Baptist churches. A classmate invited me to church and I was in. A few years later, Jesus saved me at R.A. camp. R.A. stands for Royal Ambassador. It’s like Boy Scouts for Jesus.
Looking back I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t serving the church. If the doors were open I was there. In 6th grade I volunteered to lead the snow-cone station at Vacation Bible School, in high school I led worship for our youth group. My senior year our pastor let me preach a sermon on Sunday night. I owe all I am to Jesus and the local church.
I went to college at East Texas Baptist University where I studied the Bible and missions. I was transforming in leaps and bounds and came alive under great bible teaching and the vision of the church as God’s design to reach the world.
In October of 2006, I moved to Pullman Washington to help plant and pastor Resonate Church. We served as church planters for nearly 15 years in the Pacific Northwest. Amy and I were married in June of 2007, and and have 3 daughters. Girl dad life is the best.
In December of 2021, I became the Lead Pastor of Grace Church in San Diego. Everyday I’m humbled to lead alongside an incredible team of elders and staff and serve such a prayerful and resilient church.
Over the years, my passion for the local church has never waned. Being a pastor is brutal at times, but I’m as committed as ever to the truth that disciple-making in the context of the local church is God’s strategy to reach the world.
