I am thirty eight years old, born and raised in California, and have been married to my beautiful wife Adrie for seventeen wonderful years. We have two children, Graham age five and Elle age three. At age fifteen I received my call into ministry and have pursued it ever since. For the past fourteen years, I’ve had the privilege of serving in full-time worship ministry, leading people into meaningful moments with God through music.

 

My heart is simple: I love Jesus and I want people to truly encounter Him in this way— not just sing songs, but experience His presence as His child. This is where real ministry happens, not through a pastor or a lyric, but by the power of the Holy Spirit and a genuine connection to a heavenly Father who loves them so deeply. It's with this attitude that I approach ministry. I strive to create an environment where all people may encounter the Holy Spirit and let Him do what He does.

​

I’m also passionate about building healthy, thriving ministry teams where worship leaders, and creatives feel valued, equipped, and inspired. I believe worship is both pastoral and creative — it requires spiritual sensitivity, strong leadership, and thoughtful prayer. And so I strive to live a life on stage that is congruent with my life offstage.

​

Beyond the platform and work, there are many other things I love! I love vinyl records, tacos, long distance biking, phó, live music, playing drums and of course my family. I love to experience new cultures, people and places. My wife Adrie and I love to spend time on the move and share a love for the sun! Our favorite thing to do together is take our kids to the beach!
