I always hoped to be surrounded by lovely ladies, and I finally am.  My wife Kerry and I have three daughters: Jordyn, Kylie, and Maddy.  Our wonder dog Maxie is male in hopes of balancing out all the estrogen in the house.

I enjoy watching and playing most sports.  If watching...football, especially the Dallas Cowboys, and soccer are my top choices.  If playing...usually it is soccer, volleyball, or anything in which my daughters are involved.  Even though I enjoy sports, you won’t catch me running unless it involves chasing after a ball, and you won’t find any numbers like 26.2 on the back of my car.

A favorite family pastime is shopping and I enjoy getting a great deal. Some people think that means I am cheap, but it probably just means I enjoy getting a great deal.

Most often you’ll find me in the midst of people.  On a rare occasion (like once or twice a year), I need to be alone, but most often I am jazzed by hanging out, talking, and sharing life together with others.  I get excited to learn about people’s stories and hear how they are growing and changing, especially if that is because their lives have intersected with God.

My hope is that when you meet me you’ll find someone who is comfortable in his own skin and that what you see on the outside lines up with what is happening on the inside.

I consider The Bridge my family.  I have met so many kind, caring and loving people since I've been coming to The Bridge.  I started attending from the very first service and starting working as the office administrator in 2003.  Sunday mornings are special to me because I get to see all my Bridge family, hear great music and listen to an inspiring message.

Where was the most interesting trip you have ever taken? Why?
-   - When I was in high school I went on a missions trip to New Mexico with my youth group. We decided to save money and take a coach bus instead of flying so we spent three days and two nights in the bus driving there and again driving back. It was pretty fun, but so smelly!

I am currently a student at Messiah College with a major in Christian Ministries.  I also work on the campus as a
Resident Assistant in Mellinger Apartments.

I would love to be a college pastor and have the opportunity to both minister to students and teach classes in Bible or theology. I am looking forward to pursuing a Master’s of Divinity after I graduate from Messiah and eventually getting a PhD in some field of Biblical Studies.

I enjoy deep, meaningful conversations, sports, music, exotic cuisines, wearing v-necks and wrestling bears.
