1. Basic info on your immediate family.

My wife Kelly and I have been married for 19 years and have two children, Arianna and Jamison who keep us very busy with all their extracurricular activities. We live in North Liberty and are both teachers in the John Glenn School system and have a passion for helping kids to grow and learn new things.

2. Hobbies.

In my spare time I enjoy woodworking and hunting with my kids. I love sports and enjoy watching my kids play as well as coaching them as my wife and I currently work together to coach the John Glenn track team. With my family, I enjoy going camping to relax in the outdoors and to fish and hike.

3. How long have you attended Cornerstone?

Kelly and I have attended and been members of Cornerstone since 2004 and have enjoyed raising our children with our extended church family.

4. Why did you pursue becoming an elder of the church?

I wanted to become an elder because I felt God calling me to use my spiritual gift of teaching beyond the classroom and take on a more prominent teaching role in the church, helping to teach and guide the church in the love of Christ.
