| Introduction | I have become somewhat of a veteran in the world of children’s ministry (simply because I am getting so old). I am in my 13th year as a staff member at Perimeter Church outside of Atlanta. I have a bachelors in education, a masters in evangelism/educational ministries, and a masters in professional counseling. I am passionate about shepherding and coaching my staff so that they can incorporate creative ways to help kids understand that the Bible. I am also a contributing author to Group Publishing’s book entitled Children’s Ministry in the 21st Century, as well as their curriculum for starting a pre-teen ministry entitled Preteen Launchables: Understanding Your Preteens. I have also published articles in Children’s Ministry magazine, and am currently working with my own staff to develop a quality discipleship curriculum for children called Journey for Kids. I am married to Kristen, and we have 3 children: Lily, Levi, and Lyric. My family is my highest calling and I truly am undeserving of the blessings they are to me. My hope and dream is that we, together as a family, show the love and grace of Jesus to everyone we come into contact with. |

You moved the pot before the coffee stopped brewing. Do you smell the mountains or the burro?
Something you don't know about me: I have been to 49 of the 50 states, with only Alaska to go. Hope to get to there in the next few years :)
