Bio



It is my passion to fulfill the Great Commandment and Great Commission. In both of these “Greats,” you will find loving your neighbor as yourself, loving God with all your being, preaching the Gospel to the world, and making disciples of Jesus Christ. This passion has led me to live an incredible life already!
I have an amazing family that God has blessed me with. My wife Jennifer, daughter Rieley Hope, and my son Seth make my heart leap every day that I get to be with them. Also, I’m living my dream planting Destiny Pointe Church in Columbia, Missouri.
