About

I’m on staff at Grace Church in Powell, OH where I work with the high school ministry and moonlight as a worship leader, but that doesn’t mean they endorse this blog. I am originally from northeast Ohio where I grew up in a family of all boys in a small church. I graduated from Grace College with a double major in Biblical Studies and Youth Ministry and from Grace Theological Seminary with an M.A. in Family and Youth Ministries. I’m married to my best friend Kristin and we have a a son Malachi with another one on the way. I consider pop culture, hip-hop, and gum chewing my major interests.
