What a journey we have been on! Brooke and I met in YWAM (Youth With A Mission) 20 years ago on the island of Maui where we were both on staff. God brought us together and were married in 2008. For the first 4 years of our marriage, we were a part of the local church. I was an associate pastor of worship and community groups. We then went back on staff with YWAM for a year helping to serve in the worship department and discipleship of upcoming leaders.

10 years ago, we stepped out of full-time ministry and dedicated our life to raising our 4 beautiful children and working full time in Billings, Montana. In the last few years however, we have been able to be a part of some incredible ministry opportunities. We have had the chance to facilitate retreats and small groups for men, women and couples. I have been able to travel and lead worship. All of these things stirred our hearts so much and the transformation we kept seeing was unreal. We knew these were the things we wanted to keep doing.

At the beginning of 2024 an opportunity came to us to live full time on a property in Maui our friends had purchased where we would have the ability to do what we were desiring. We knew this was going to be our next big step for our family. And so, in September of 2024 we took the leap and moved our 13, 11, 8 and 5 year old kids to this property. As hard as transition can be, the results have been priceless. Our family has come together and has learned what it means to be a family on mission. We have had opportunities to host events on the properties such as YWAM schools for their lectures and worship nights they have once a week. We have invited families over and continue to build a community where people can be seen and known. I have been able to lead worship at different local churches on the island. We feel so committed to take this unique season of our life and to continue to pour out the love of Jesus to our kids and the people who surround us with these incredible opportunities to serve.
