My family and I loved the instant connection we had with people at The Refinery when we first joined. We quickly made incredible relationships.

Before becoming the Executive Pastor of Ministry I was the Kids Pastor, Next Gen Pastor and a K-8 Principal at a school in Goodyear.

I have always loved working with kids and families! I have served in kids and youth ministry ever since I was in high school and couldn't think of a better way to continue to serve than by pouring into others who serve!

I married my wife, Cory, in 2003 and we have a beautiful daughter – Ryann. We love to golf, ski, camp, and be outdoors whenever we can.
