WHY FBC ARK?:

FBC ARK is a great place to call home! I began volunteering for the FBC Children’s ministry in 2014 while a student at OBU. After graduation, my wife and I decided to join as members of FBC in 2017. We were immediately struck by the depth of love and community here at FBC and we knew this church would be home for us. My passion is to help young men and women discover the beauty and truth of God’s word, and God graciously opened the doors for me to be able to do that here at the church I call home.

​

FAVORITE MUSIC:

I am a fan of all kinds of music and my taste runs the gamut. I am always looking for new music to enjoy. My go-to music genres range anywhere from Indie/Alternative to Christian Worship, Pop, and Punk.

​

FAVORITE BOOKS:

I love theological and spiritual formation books! Some of my favorite books include Accidental Pharisees, With, The Spirit of the Disciplines, Augustine’s Confessions, and anything by John Ortberg. I’m also a fan of fantasy fiction.
