My family life (include spouse and children info in here): I have 2.5 children as of this writing, and we thoroughly enjoy our time together. Main activities include bicycles, princesses, parties, and eating.

What I do for Portico: I am a charter member and an elder of Portico Church. I have served in a variety of roles over the course of time, but I currently help lead the Worship Team.

How long have I been at Portico? Since the very beginning! I’m thankful to have been able to see the church in its many phases and to have experience God’s Work in the lives of so many.

One thing most people don’t know about me: I talk a lot, so I don’t have many secrets.

My top 3 favorite podcasts/books:

• The Bible
• Ben Shapiro
• The Military Arms Channel

What makes me laugh the most: The sillier, the better. Dad jokes are where it is at!

My life verse: James 1:2-4 “Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.”

Hobbies/interests: I like machinery and tools! I’d like to get more skilled at building and welding.
