I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. After completing my seminary training, I started as a pastor in Santa Ana, CA in 2001. Since then, I have served as a pastor in Texas, northern California, and Wisconsin as well.
My wife, Jessica, and I were married in July of 2002. We have been blessed with four children. One of our children still attends King of Kings. We live in the house next to the school.
