I’m just an average guy with an amazing wife, 2 great kids that an awesome God chose to save by sending a loving Savior! I grew up outside of Tampa, Fl in a family that engaged in anything outdoors related! My parents taught me character, serving and my work ethic. My grandfathers taught me to fix anything, how to fish, hunt, shoot and gave me tips on how to get in trouble (grandpa’s right). One grandmother taught me to have fun, while the other let God work through her to build His Kingdom to include our family. Because of these people and a few more, I am the man/leader that I am today! My purpose and goal in this season of my life is to develop leaders and disciple as many people as God will allow.

I moved my family to South Carolina in 2008 and it has been a wild ride ever since! God has called me into ministry full time and I am all in! I have a job that I love and was called to do. I ministered to people around the world through Seacoast Church Online. I led and organized small groups and other leader training. In 2015, We moved back to Florida due to some family struggles and business opportunities. My family is and always has been 100% behind me, I have a large community of friends that keep me humble and on the narrow path. I tend to speak the truth a little to harshly sometimes and I charge forward after an idea often too quickly!  I am reminded daily that I am a work in progress, and that I am flawed in many ways. I struggle with the same issues that most people do, after all sin is the same sin that people have struggled with since the beginning. This blog is to help me stay on course and to share my southern, middle age, blue collar, outdoorsy, sometimes flawed perspective with people that might not see things the way I see them.

You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. 2 Timothy 2:1-2 NIV
