Summary
I am an energy driven youth pastor focused on leading and developing young disciples of Christ. I grew up lacking godly influence outside of my home and God opened the door for me to be that for others. I'm known for my work ethic and determination. I have served at a small church for the last two years learning and developing as a youth pastor. I am community oriented, I was raised here in Wabash and plan on being here for a long time. My heart is for the teens in my community, to lead and develop christian leaders of the next generation.
