I’ve been the pastor at Lombard Christian Reformed Church since 2009 where I’m responsible for preaching and leading the congregation in worship. The musician in me enjoys participating in music worship and choir. And the Canadian in me also enjoys skating at our Corner Ice rink.

I bring a philosophy of developing leaders within the congregation to take ownership of our many different ministries - through guidance and mentoring to training and retreats.

I have been involved in vocational ministry inside the church since 2010. The time I've spent establishing and leading multiple ministries has resulted in me growing more passionate about God's role for the church. My greatest desire is that others would deeply know and experience Christ's incredible love and that the church would be the community that fosters this knowledge and understanding as it relies on Christ's leadership. 

In 2024, my wife (Carissa), our two daughters (Marylind and Talia), and I followed God's call as we moved from the Grand Rapids area to join the community of Lombard CRC. In June of 2024, my wife gave birth to our third child, a baby boy (Colter).

I enjoy playing golf, basketball and running, as well as rooting for the Dallas Cowboys and Duke Basketball.

I've been serving in local churches since 1997, leading worship and preaching in a variety of denominations. During that time, God has led our family on a fascinating journey to urban contexts, cowboy territory, college campuses, international cafés, and sprawling suburbia. It’s been an adventure serving the Lord! Along the way, because of my passion for creativity and theology, I’ve also taught courses like Creative Writing, Christian Bible, Reading the New Testament, and World Religions at local Christian colleges.

By God’s generosity and my family’s support, I studied at Taylor University, Ball State University, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and Asbury Theological Seminary. My interests include baseball (Braves!), basketball, poetry, chess, video games, songwriting, and BBQ.
