About

I am Managing Director of Thrive Ministries, a non-profit ministry focusing on the missional discipleship process and exploring what it means to really follow Jesus in his mission of restoration and reconciliation. We help people discover a God who loves us more than we can possibly imagine. By stepping into God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation, we can discover the life that is worth living for and dying for.

I am a son, a husband, and a father. And the order doesn’t make it easier. I live in Folsom, Ca, with my beautiful wife and amazing three children. I thank my Father every day for them. I’ve finally come to realize the value of relationship and cherish the one’s I have, especially my brothers in the journey. I have a BA in Bible from William Jessup University and an MA in Organizational Leadership from Gonzaga University.

This blog focuses on the idea of Missio Dei, or Mission of God. It flows out of my work in ministry and what it means to follow Jesus.
