Entrepreneurial leadership is a great passion of mine. I am a visionary who values integrity and loves to dream big, risk much and go hard. Commissioned by the North American Mission Board, I moved to Florida in 2001 with my wife (pregnant with our first child) and took the plunge into what has proven to be the most daring, difficult and fruitful professional task I have ventured thus far: planting a church from scratch.
Scholarship is another passionate pursuit of mine. My philosophy in preaching and theological instruction, as well as biblical counseling, is guided by devotion to careful and clear communication of scriptural truth through creative application of faithful textual exposition.
Creative communication, writing, speaking, counseling, teaching, visioneering, marketing, design, branding, cross-platform technologies, team building, leadership.
