I was born and raised in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. It was there that I grew up going to church. But some hardships in my family and an unwillingness to let go of some areas in my life led me to a season of rebellion as a teenager. So though I heard and could articulate many stories of the Bible, I did not fully surrender my life to Christ until the summer when I was 16-years-old. It was after this season of rebellion that God patiently drew me to Himself. I then began to serve in my church and felt a call from God to pastoral ministry which was affirmed by my youth pastor and leaders. I attended Moody Bible Institute where I studied Biblical Exposition and also met my wonderful wife Kelsey. Kelsey and I are blessed to have our son Robby and love to spend time together as a family.
Since graduating from Moody I have had the opportunity to serve in multiple capacities, most recently in youth ministry at a church in Colorado. I am passionate about coming alongside families as they disciple their kids and seeing youth develop lifelong faith in Jesus Christ.
