I was born and raised in a small town in Southern New Hampshire in a big family; my Dad, Mom, two brothers, and two sisters. That family of 7 has now grown to 25.
I went to Gordon College in MA for college and got a degree in biology. That is where I met Becca. We started dating freshman year, got married after college, and have been married for 6 years this summer. We now have three kids Adelaide(2), Lucy(11 months), and Evangeline (11 months).
I was raised in a Christian family and accepted Jesus when I was 5 years old. I have no dramatic story of sin and redemption, but it is only the faithful presence of God which has made it so. He has held me fast.
My primary ministry involvement has always been music. I have been involved in leading worship for over 10 years now. I have also led groups and bible studies over the years. My most formal ministry experience was when I spent 6 months serving as a chaplain in Olympic National Park in WA. That experience has left a permanent love for the mountains in my heart.
