I’m a dedicated dad to a 11 year old daughter, Sophie, and a “greyt”ful greyhound owner to Veronica, my retired 45mph couch potato. A born and raised Michigander, I love all things “up north,” traveling God’s country, and meeting new people to hear their stories. Spending time with my daughter Sophie and doggers is one of my favorite pastimes past times. I’m close to my family and appreciate creating and sharing special moments with them. I’m one part of a duo that plays Beer and Hymns (Detroit) on vocals and guitar. I have a deep appreciation for several genres of music. I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve St. Thomas and I’m looking forward to exploring what the Spirit brings to us all.
