Hope and Vision for CrossChurch: I see CrossChurch growing into a missional church that reaches all of North County with the Cross of Jesus Christ and starts new churches in San Diego, the Southwest, and around the world.
How you got involved with CrossChurch: While living in Ohio in 2006 I went on a 40 day fast with the Lord and the vision for CrossChurch San Diego was born. My family moved to San Diego in late 2007 where we did not know anyone. And the rest has been history in the making.
A few of my favorite things: I love my bride, Becky! I love being a Dad to Nate and Noah – 5th grade twin boys and our new son, Levi, born in August 2009. I enjoy doing anything and everything with them whether it is going to Football practice and games, movies, camping, amusement parks (especially the roller coasters ), boogie boarding at La Jolla Shores Beach, or whatever we can do together. I honestly enjoy people and hearing their story and above all I love God and belonging to Him.
