As the Associate Minister, I preach in the Celebration Worship Service, work with program ministries, visit the sick and others, and support the Senior Minister in ordering the life of the Messiah community.

My father has been a United Methodist minister since I was six months old. Though I have always been around the church, I was 22 before I felt called into leadership. During my senior year of college, I became involved in local outreach ministries to hungry and un-churched people, and it was through those experiences that I began to feel a tug into ordained ministry. My faith has grown and evolved many times throughout my life, and I continue to stretch and learn.

B.S.C. in Video Production, Ohio University, 2002.
Master of Divinity, Methodist Theological School in Ohio, 2006.

I have three children. My youngest daughter, Lily, was born in 2007. My middle daughter, Eva, was born in 2002. My son, William, was born in 1999.

I enjoy playing hide-and-go-seek, ping pong, basketball, video games, and making improvisational skits with my kids. I like to go to faraway places both inside and outside the U.S. I also take pleasure in watching football and making documentaries.
