I was baptized and grew up in a Christian home in St. Paul, Minnesota. I majored in Bible and Theology at Wheaton College, and then I spent two years studying under John Piper at The Bethlehem Institute in Minneapolis from 2001-03.

I received my Masters of Divinity degree at Westminster Seminary in California in 2006 where I studied under men such as W. Robert Godfrey and Michael Horton. From 2006 to 2010 I served as an Associate Pastor at Cloverdale United Reformed Church in Boise, ID (URCNA).

In November 2010, I moved back to Minnesota with my wife, Colleen, and our infant son, Isaiah. I am currently serving as the Church Planting Pastor at Emmaus Road Reformed Church in Eden Prairie, MN (RCUS). You can find out more information about the church plant at: www.emmausrcus.org.
