I had my first opportunities to preach in High School and have seldom missed a week without communicating God's Word in front of groups (50-750) for the last 10-years. I have been described as high-energy, inspirational, authentic, and Biblically-focused.
Preachers and Teachers I love: John Piper, Tim Keller, David Platt, Francis Chan, John MacArthur, Albert Mohler
Best Books on Preaching: Christ-Centered Preaching: Redeeming the Expository Sermon & Communicating for a Change
From being voted chaplain of my senior class in high school to being chosen as a captain of Liberty University's Division I Track & Field Team to now as a full-time pastor it is evident that God has gifted me to lead. I love organizational leadership, casting vision, identifying values and implementing strategic plans to move the church forward.
Leadership Influences: Mark Dever, Craig Groeschel, Michael Scott, Peter Greer
Best Leadership Books: The Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make, Advanced Strategic Planning: A 21st-Century Model for Church and Ministry Leaders, Mission Drift: The Unspoken Crisis Facing Leaders, Charities, and Churches
I thrive with a healthy team. We really are better together. I unite teams and motivate them to successfully accomplish objectives. I find fulfillment in helping other people win. I would move forward with a team rather than doing it solo any day of the week.
