Welcome to Medina East! I’ve called northeast Ohio my home all my life. Born and raised in Brunswick … attended the University of Akron (where I ran track and got a degree in Civil Engineering) .. and was part of the college ministry at The Chapel, where God really began to grow my faith and redirect my future plans toward ministry.

I was a seminary intern with The Chapel for their college ministry and completed my master’s degree through Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. I served as the college ministry pastor for 10 years and then spent three years as an executive pastor in Macedonia. In April 2021, I officially joined the team here at Medina East to be part of all the exciting things God is doing.

Joining me here is my amazing wife, Liz, and our three children (Riley, Hudson, and Harper). I have a passion to help connect people to God so that they can experience the fullness of life He has for them!
