Meet The Pastor

I am living a life blessed by God. I was educated in Catholic schools, learning about and growing in my relationship with God. I treasure my experiences as they created the foundation that has made me who I am. I continued my education with Ball State University where I was able to start learning what servant leads is all about.                                                                                       In my professional career, I have spent 15 years in public education, holding numerous leadership roles that allowed me to impact not only my school, but the entire school district.

During this time, I also enjoyed coaching soccer.       Upon leaving public education, I was able to impact the health- care community by serving as the Continuing Medical Education Coordinator. This allowed me to interact with healthcare professionals and improve medical knowledge and application for the betterment of northeast Indiana.                                     Currently, I am able to use my servant leadership skills while working with the Department of Workforce Development and helping those who are unemployed.                                 Throughout my life, God has been my strength. Recently, I heard the calling to utilize my servant leadership skills to serve Him. I served as a pulpit fill for our Conference before being appointed as the Associate Pastor to Seminary Church. I now have the pleasure of serving the people of Woodburn UMC.

I am joined by my wife, Tiffany, who is a public educator as well. She is highly dedicated to her students and serves our Lord by being an excellent example for her students. I am also joined by my children, Adam and Zera. Adam is a student at UNOH studying High-performance Automotive Engineering. Zera is a student at DeKalb HS where she loves her theatre and drama classes as well as the Barron Marching Band.
