My wife, Mandy, and I began serving in full-time ministry in 1999, when we were just 19 years old. Since then, we have had the privilege of faithfully serving the congregation and community of Lighthouse Ministries in Seneca, Missouri.

     Over the years, we have served as Christian school principals, youth pastors, assistant pastors, and associate pastors. In March 2019, we were honored to become the lead pastors of Lighthouse Ministries—a church and community we deeply love.

     My heart for helping others also led me to pursue formal education in counseling. In 2019, I earned my bachelor’s degree in counseling from Hobe Sound Bible College, strengthening my understanding of counseling principles, relationships, and compassionate, faith-informed care.

     Whether through pastoral ministry or counseling, my desire is to meet people where they are, walk alongside them through life’s challenges, and encourage them toward stronger relationships, personal growth, and renewed hope.
