About me

Gender Male
Occupation Lead Pastor
Location Monte Vista, Colorado
Introduction I am truly a blessed man...I have three gorgeous daughters and an amazingly beautiful wife; I live in a great town in the heart of the Colorado Rockies; I pastor a church that is made up of people excited to be used by God; I am so blessed!! I think more than anything, I am blessed to be loved by Jesus Christ. I don't think I could ever talk about Him enough...what I do is not just an occupation; it's who I am. I get to serve as a ministry leader, walking alongside of people as they too discover how much Jesus loves them and how much He wants to be part of everything that they are. I LOVE my "career" and there is nothing else in the world that I could be that would bring as much fulfillment as where I am and what I am doing in this phase of life that I'm in right now.
