I grew up in Eastern and Central Pennsylvania moving around was common for our family. By the time I left for college I had lived in 17 houses. My childhood was far from stable so I found stability and acceptance through sports.
At the age of 19 my life had taken many twists and turns as a freshman in college I received news that my mother was diagnosed with cancer. It was about a month later, that she passed away. About a year later, a fellow co-worker invited me to her church. I started attending and began to see God working in my heart. In July 1998, I attended a Promise Keepers event in Philadelphia. It was there that I accepted Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior. It was listening to the Godly speakers I realized I need to not only “know” the Jesus they were talking about, but BELIEVE in the need for a Savior. It was at Promise Keepers I first heard about the true Jesus and His love for me. Shortly after I became saved my father was diagnosed with cancer and six months later my father passed away. So in a little less than two years, both of my parents had passed away. The passing of my mother and father was devastating. The difference between the two was that when my dad passed, I had Jesus and Godly men to help me through.
In 1999, I felt the call to ministry. I enrolled full time at Cairn University as a Biblical Studies major. I graduated in 2003 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biblical Studies Degree. In 2008, I received my Masters of Science in Bible.
While attending Cairn University, I met my wife Becky. We have two daughters, Bella born in 2008, and Lizzie born in 2013. In my spare time, I love to spend time with my family as well as being outdoors. I also have a passion for playing and watching sports.
My family and I reside in Hoboken, NJ where I serve as the Senior Pastor of Hoboken EFC. I have a heart and passion to see lives transformed by Jesus Christ and His Gospel. My desire is to help people along their journey to become fully devoted disciples of Jesus. I want to help them take the Gospel to the inner most parts of their hearts to the outer most parts of the world.
