About Me

SPEAKER: I love sharing my passion for discipleship and how it transforms lives and communities. If you’re interested in booking me as a speaker for your next event, D-NOW weekend, conference, or retreat, please let me know; contact me.

COLLEGE PASTOR: I have a wreckless passion for the church and it’s calling to live like Jesus, love like Jesus, and make disciples like Jesus. That passion, deeply rooted in my own faith, combined with a strong drive for young adults, leadership development, theology, and spiritual formation, has helped shape God’s call for my life as a College Pastor. Since 2006, I’ve had the joy and the privilege of serving as the Executive Director & Campus Pastor for The Journey University Ministries at Kennesaw State University, which is committed to discipleship by raising a lifelong priesthood of Christ-followers and church leaders. Before that, I also spent three years as the Youth Minister at  Covenant Presbyterian Church in Marietta, GA.

SWAGGER WAGON DRIVER: I’m a family man. I’ve got a gorgeous wife (Amanda) and three adorable children that I thank God for daily. Even though Amanda and I once swore we would never drive a mini-van (we even wanted to include that in our wedding vows!), it won’t take you long to figure out that we rock the Swagger Wagon. Parenthood is awesome; it’s one of the greatest and most challenging adventures anyone can take. I love spending time with my family, and I’m not afraid to admit I love driving a Swagger Wagon (or mini-van to you non-hipsters). When I’m not rollin’ with my posse in the HOV, I enjoy simple things like being outdoors, eating good BBQ, especially with some good blues, and cheering on my favorite sports teams like the Tennessee Volunteers, Atlanta Braves, and the Atlanta Falcons. Yep. I’m a family man with swagger.
