I was born in Camrose, Alberta, and became a Christian early on. I have undergone many hard trials and difficulties in my life, which God has used to refine, sanctify, and equip me.

Ever since I was young, I had the desire to become a pastor, and so, I geared my most significant life choices around that aim. I regularly sought to evangelize my friends and family from age seven onward, and I sought to get my hands on whatever good Christian materials I could find (finding and assessing good resources is still a passion of mine).

After graduating high-school, I spent two years saving up for college, and then went to Ambrose University College in Calgary, 2008. I stayed there for four years for a ministry degree, where I met my wife, Sonia, and we were married in 2011.

Because of the theological compromise of that university, I moved to attend Trinity Western University in Langley, BC, where I got a BA of Leadership in 2015. After getting that degree, we moved into the arctic for five years.

We lived in Tulita for a year, and Ulukhaktok for four years. In Ulukhaktok, I led church services for a few years, sought to evangelize the Inuit, and cared for the church building. I completed my Masters of Divinity at Southern Evangelical Seminary in 2021 with a double-major in biblical studies and apologetics.

I also wrote an extensive master’s thesis on the Christian use of the Greatest Commandment, and I took a lot of advanced biblical languages and Bible courses above the degree.

Some time later, I had a year-long pastoral internship at Rose City Baptist Church in Camrose, AB. There, I was recognized as elder-qualified and sent out to pastor at Morinville Baptist Church in March, 2025. I am a prolific writer and reader, and I am passionate about making the Bible practical for applying from the inner-man.

I am also passionate about biblical counseling, careful and accurate biblical interpretation, and family discipleship. I look forward to meeting you!”
