When did you first start attending Northeast and why did you stay? I started coming to Northeast in middle school while we were still meeting in the previosly existing Chapel. Here I came to know my Savior and I was baptized during a new year's baptism service by Robert G. Cherry in 1988. After spending 6 years in full-time ministry in other churches I was invited back to be on staff here at Northeast.   

What or who inspires you? My beautiful wife & 3 kiddos, my friends, Coldplay, unlocking achievements on my Xbox360.

What’s your idea of a perfect day? Wake up around 11, have a berry smoothie with my family, take a private jet to the coast & play in the waves for a couple hours, fly back taking a nap, upon arriving eat a big steak dinner while getting a neck & shoulder massage. Tickle wrestle with my kids and then take my wife on a unicorn flight through rainbows and waterfalls.

What was your first step in getting involved at Northeast? Playing in the basketball league.

Your biggest indulgence? Bananna Republic stretchy t-shirts & blueberry blizzards.

What has God been teaching you lately? God's grace is amazing. I am not.
