Eternal Student Ministries

I grew up on the Central Coast of California and moved to Tahoe after graduating High School. I quickly fell in love with the Tahoe way of life and the people that call this place home.

God has since blessed me with a wonderful wife and 2 amazing kids. I received my BA in Family Studies from Corban College in Salem OR and have an MBA in Executive Ministry Leadership from Trinity Theological Seminary.

It was hedonism that brought me to Tahoe, but God’s grace that called me to a greater purpose than myself. Sierra is the only church I’ve ever called home and I’m honored to be a part of the family. I love everything outdoors, in every season. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to minister, live and love. God is good.

Being born and raised in Tahoe was a special way to grow up! Jesus became real to me in high school and He used a number of people in Tahoe and at Sierra to encourage me in my young faith. I started to get a taste for ministry while being a part of Cru during college which turned into working for Cru for two years before returning to Tahoe. 

I never planned on doing ministry full-time nor working at a church, but God showed me that investing in peoples lives for eternity is the best investment you can make in life.  Now, I get to raise my family here and invest in God’s kingdom! 

The seasons of Tahoe are the best part of living here! Spring and Fall are my favorite times of year to be exploring the mountains, trails and rivers with my family.…But you can’t go wrong with a summer beach night or sipping coffee by the fire in the winter.  I’ve traveled to some amazing places, but it’s hard to beat Tahoe.
