Born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana, I learned early on the value of family and relationships. During my college years, I recognized my passion to care for people and began the educational journey to become a pastor. I graduated from Cedarville University with a BA in American Studies. And then, after three years of seminary on the west coast, I pastored and served in three churches. I also continued my education and completed all my coursework for a doctorate in church leadership.

I transitioned from vocational ministry in 2008 in order to care for people through my role at Northwestern Mutual. In the past fourteen years of serving my clients, I have been able to offer practical solutions for individual situations. My years of seminary training have uniquely positioned me to care for people, and I have built my financial training upon the solid values I learned.

I have been married to my wife, Paula, since we graduated from college together in 1995. I have two daughters, Hollis and Jillian. We live in Carmel, Indiana, where I am active in leading the young adult ministry at Cornerstone Bible Church, as well as serving on the board of the Carmel Girls Lacrosse Booster Club.
