Every journey has a beginning. Mine began with a simple desire to serve Christ wherever He placed me. Over the years that desire has grown into a calling to teach Scripture, form disciples, and help believers walk with clarity in a complicated world.
I am a pastor-theologian, chaplain, and teacher who loves helping people understand the Bible and live it out with courage and conviction. My work sits at the intersection of theology, worldview, discipleship, and public service. Whether I am teaching in the classroom, writing for Shoe Leather Gospel, serving in crisis environments, or studying Scripture at my desk, my aim is always the same. Help people meet God in His Word and walk with Him in their daily lives.
My approach is simple. Scripture first. Clarity always. Formation through every step. I believe the Bible speaks to every part of life and that believers need more than information. They need wisdom. They need hope. They need a worldview that can withstand the pressures of the age. That is the heart of my ministry and the reason I built Shoe Leather Gospel.
Along this road, God has shaped me through disaster relief deployments, graduate studies, theological training, and meaningful relationships with mentors and fellow believers. He has formed my calling through challenges and quiet seasons, through academic rigor and personal reflection. Each chapter has prepared me to serve His people with humility and faithfulness.
