About Me

I am the grateful husband of Krista, dad to seven passionate, thriving, and hilarious young adults and grandpa to Judah James. Before joining the Workmatters team, my vocation had been expressed as a church planter, pastor, mentor, entrepreneur, and as a connector in the Bentonville business community. I am thrilled to be part of Workmatters and join the mission to transform leaders of faith!

Faith

God’s grace reached me as a child through Christian parents in a rural church. Over the years He has been faithful to shape me in the confluence of loving people, difficult trials, the direction of His Word and the gentleness of His Spirit.
