I have been on professional staff at HoneyRock since 2011 and currently serve as the Associate Executive Director.
After growing up in eastern Pennsylvania, I attended Wheaton College for my undergraduate degree. I then studied at the University of North Carolina Wilmington where I met my wife, Lauren. We have five children, four boys and a girl. Lauren and I each took part in HoneyRock’s graduate assistant program from 2007-2008 and worked in several seasonal roles after. I returned to HoneyRock in 2011 to lead the business operations and support our team.
The Lord blessed me with parents and a home environment where Jesus was central. Understanding my identity in Christ, participating in spiritual rhythms, and learning how to implement my gifts and skills have helped form me over time. HoneyRock has helped be a place of transformation for myself, my spouse, and now our kids as they experience camper programming and the community of HoneyRock.
I enjoy working here because of the blessing of being involved in and experiencing countless examples of individuals being challenged and growing as disciples. God has and continues to develop His story that involves the people, place, and process that is unique to HoneyRock. I can’t help but be excited to play a role in that story.
