Children's Pastor

From the very first visit, Carpenter's Way felt like home. My family was welcomed with genuine kindness, and we found exactly what we had been looking for: people who loved God and actually cared about each other. 


As Children's Pastor, I get to do what I love most: help kids move from simply hearing about God to truly understanding how much He loves them and what that means for their real, everyday lives. I love developing volunteers, partnering with parents, and building environments where children feel valued and excited to grow. Every child deserves someone who believes in them and points them toward Christ, and I want to be that for as many kids as possible.


I have been married to my high school sweetheart and the love of my life, Jesse, for 18 years. We have two wonderful children who keep me laughing, learning, and trusting God every single day. Together we love showing up for our church community and finding the adventure in ordinary moments.
