Introduction	I'm a pastor who loves the Word and I love the church! I have a heart for those on the margins – those who have not yet experienced the freedom and joy of being forgiven. I'm crazy about my wife and kids, and can't believe how blessed I am. My wants and goals are simple: to be a fully-devoted follower of Christ, the best husband and father I can be, and a committed and effective pastor. I enjoy bicycling, golf, writing worship music, hiking and family time, and my wife thinks I'm nuts because I read theology and Old Testament studies to unwind.
