My Biography:  Ever since I was 12 years old, I knew I was going to be working with Youth.  In high school I took every chance I could to learn from my Youth Pastor, Paul Miceli.  We are still very close, he was even best man in my wedding.  After High School I went to college at Grace University , graduating with a degree in Youth Ministry.  I worked at Youth for Christ in Omaha after graduation and started work at Harvey Oaks Baptist in the summer of 2004.  I am currently working on my Masters in Couseling as well.

While a student at Grace, I met my wife Charissa and we were married in 2003.  We have 2 children; Noah Daniel and Alexandra Marie.

I love to spend my free time going to rock shows, watching movies, or playing sports (football, basketball, golf, and soccer).  I love to travel, especially overseas.  My passport includes stamps from  Hungary , France , Austria , Romania , Mexico , and the Dominican Republic .  I have been to over 40 states (including Hawaii and Alaska) .  My travel has also taken me into the mountains to camp, fish, hike, ski, and snowboard.
