Location Toronto, Ohio, United States
Introduction I grew up in Circleville, OH where I played many sports in school: wrestling, football, baseball, soccer and where I played trombone in the band. During Jr High I felt called into Christian ministry. I felt specifically called into youth ministry and went to Mount Vernon Nazarene University. After college I worked to help plant Mt. Vernon West Side Church of the Nazarene. I met Antonina and got married in 2002. After the honeymoon we moved to KC to attend Nazarene Theological Seminary. I served as youth pastor at St Paul's Church of the Nazarene for two and a half years. I am now the Pastor of Toronto First Church of the Nazarene in Toronto, OH. We have two sons, Pax and Pierce, and a daughter Pria. We love our dog Magna.
