I was born in Corvalis, Oregon but due to my dad being in the military, I grew up on both coasts and went to high school in the midwest. Jesus saved me at the age of 6 and since that time my story has been one of Jesus’ faithfulness in the midst of my unfaithfulness. College brought me to Chicago and in early 2006 I began to sense God’s call to church planting. After a few years of prayer and planning my wife, Tami, and I planted Redemption Bible Church with a few friends crazy enough to follow us on this journey.
