I am a licensed bi-vocational minister in the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) denomination. Currently, I am the Director of Discipleship at my church where I oversee our small Bible study groups, leadership development, and some racial reconciliation work that we do, and occasionally, preach.
I also design, develop, and facilitate leadership development workshops for the regional conference of the ECC.

We're a family of three living on the South Side of Chicago. I've lived most of my life in Chicago and I love it. It definitely gets cold, but that's just part of the city's charm. Only the strong survive!
A big reason Chicago is home is because we are very involved in our church on the South Side where both my wife and I serve on church leadership.
