I am a Christian, husband, father, coach, teacher, and servant.

As a Christian, it is very important for me to love everyone that is made in the image of God. It is critical that I help others reach their God-given callings in their lives to make an impact on the world (Matthew 25:14-30). I want to help people steward the gifts that were given to them so at the end of their lives, they will hear "Well done, my good and faithful servant" (Matthew 25:23). My life verse is from 1 Timothy 1:15-16 which says "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life."

As a husband and father, I take seriously the lives that were granted to me to influence, love, serve, protect, and nourish. I want to make sure my family is protected and able to be empowered to fulfill their mission on earth. With a wonderful wife and five amazing children, it is critical that they have a spiritual leader, cheerleader, caretaker, and sacrificial love. They deserve the best and they deserve to be protected once my time on earth is completed.

As a coach, I loved helping football players, wrestlers, track athletes, and weightlifters reach their full potential through specific, timely, and relevant feedback. As a teacher of kindergarten, first grade, and second grade and principal of an elementary, middle, high school and K-12 online school, I cherished the opportunities to fully educate and equip students and staff with the knowledge and skill sets to make a positive impact on the world.

As a servant, I want people to follow me as I follow Jesus (1 Corinthians 11:1). I want to listen to understand so I can help people reach their goals.
