About Me

My beautiful wife and I have been married since 2013. McKenzie and I graduated together from Lincoln Christian School in 2010. God has blessed us with three uniquely designed children. Our oldest son, Cruz, went to be with Jesus when he was four years old. We are incredibly thankful that the Lord blessed us with Cruz, and while we miss him daily, we have confidence that we have more time with him ahead of us than behind us.

Cruz has two younger siblings, Maverick and Haven. Maverick attends Lincoln Christian and loves riding to work with his dad. As a family, we love playing outside, playing sports, and going on walks. Maverick enjoys working out with me , watching me coach basketball, and he loves to be with his family.

We attend Citylight North Church, where my wife serves as the director of our Children’s Ministry. God has continued to bless our family and has always gone before us in our walk toward eternity. Lincoln Christian School is a place on a mission for souls, with a vision to see the Kingdom of God full. My family and I are excited to continue to be part of that mission.

Philosophy

The Lord has clearly called me to Christian education. Lincoln Christian School is built on the one thing that matters most in this life: the truth of the Gospel. At Lincoln Christian, we have an important and valuable opportunity to make an eternal impact on the Kingdom of Christ. Everything we teach our students is immersed in a biblical lens, allowing us to teach about God’s world in light of His perfect Word.

My goal is for every student who walks the halls of our school to have a transformational experience—one that leads their hearts to love and trust Jesus through the example set daily by our staff and administration.
