I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by stories. First as a reader, then as a teacher of literature, and now as a pastor and writer. I have always enjoyed reading and listening to stories. And it was at a young age that my love for words and my desire to tell stories was encouraged and formed. I hold a Master of Science in English, and before entering ministry, I spent sixteen years teaching high school students to read deeply, think critically, and write with imagination.

Today, I serve as a pastor in a small Indiana town, where I continue to wrestle with big questions about God, hope, and the world to come. My wife, Regan, and I have two sons, Ethan and Seth, and are transitioning to empty nesters.

My current writing project is the Restored Earth Adventures, a series that follows two children, Jackie and Maunda, who are resurrected when Jesus returns to earth. Together, they discover what it means to grow up in a renewed world where every moment is filled with wonder, friendship, and the presence of the King himself.

Whether I’m writing fiction or teaching Scripture, my goal is the same: to awaken imagination, stir hope, and help readers glimpse the beauty of God’s story…and their place in it.
